Google Earth: Identify the city

This a game I found on another fourm. The rules are simple one person post a screen shot from google earth of the down town of a certain city and the others have to identify it. Please keep to cities that are fairly well known. For example no one wants to try to indenfy some city in the middle of nowhere.

I'll start:

Edit: blanked out lat and long

I dont have google earth but i want to try to see if i can get it right, but that looks like Hong Kong.

Nope Guess again

I'll take a stab: New York City harbor?

Its somewhere is USA because:
a. It is using a NASA image.
b. The 3D building thing is on, which only works in America.

Tough to make out distinguishing features from 18,000 feet up.

It doesn't resemble the Los Angeles or SF areas, so I guessed NYC. Maybe Baltimore or Miami?

edit: Must be east-coast US, by the compass... about east-south-east. Maybe Charleston, South Carolina?

None mentioned, Hint: it is in the Midwestern U.S.

its probably a city bordering one of the great lakes or the mississippi river. (did i spell that right?)

It's Chicago.

EDIT: By the way, some of Mexico is also covered by NASA.

correct

Thats Hawaii.

Miami

Going by the in-pic compass, I guess west coast N.Am. But not Seattle, SF, LA, San Diego, Acapulco. Hmmm, maybe further north. Nope on Vancouver and Anchorage.

Inland more. Any clues?

Hamurg, Copenhague (howevr you call it in ENglish) or something?

Just a note, someone siad you coulld only get the 3-D Buildings in America, wrong, cause over here in Aussie on google earth we also can see 3-D buildings.

Now back to game, I don't any cities in AMerica, so I am not going to even guess.

EMFM's entry = Lisbon (Lisboa), Portugal
