City Aerial Photos

Found some cool aerial shots of San Francisco and Los Angeles, please feel free to add other cities.....

San Francisco
flickr user: ATIS547 (obviously a pilot, first six photos)






You can almost see Sacramento


You can see all of the new construction, the photos are very recent.




Los Angeles

Great downtown shot

flickr user: Marshall Astor

Actually from the Getty, not aerial, but is elevated to show perspective. Shows Century City and DT in the distance.

flickr user: Maijau

Marina Del Rey inlet, can see Wilshire, Westwood, and Century City in distance

Cool shots! Those SF photos are pretty recent, maybe 6-8 weeks ago? And the first few are even newer.

Is this a volcano and is it still active? Also, is that farming that they're doing on/in it?

That Vancouver shot reminds me of an older cover from SimCity.

^ That's a fairly recent photo of Calgary. Going to be great once The Bow (Calgary new tallest) rises in front of Petro Canada Tower.

This picture reminds us of what detroit was.
So sad, the downtown has been choked by a ring of freeways and clouds of smog, destroyed by it's own creation as the auto plants moved to the suburbs and took the people with them. so much of the north side was torn down, sad.
