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:

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Goggle Earth: Identify the city
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?

Re: Goggle Earth: Identify the city

Re: Goggle Earth: Identify the city
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?
