amazing how all these cities look the same from so high up...they all look like big red X's.

[RockHillJames]

...and I know where you found them. Why don't you credit May-Day?

Copy each of those urls into your adress bar. It may be a long post but it is better than quoting SLB just to find the url in his post! :)

I get the "Forbidden" message. Why is that?

[Style]

Copy the urls in my post above. It should work for you then. If not then you just wont see them.

[yadkinv]

Thanks for doing that, whatever it was that you did? Great pictures, but still one wonders why some folks received the "Forbidden" message?

Look at what I found from that site!!!!!!!

Kyle, you could also right click on the link and click "Copy shortcut" and then paste it.

I'm on a mission tonight to collect as many aerials as I can and this is just what the doctor ordered! Thanks.
Oh by the way,

That too. ;) What ever gets you to see the awsome aerials is what you have to do! :)

[urbanlife]

well it was the hard way of seeing them, but they are very cool looking. I really loved the Baltimore and Charlotte ones.

[boypussi]

Wow, that pic really illustrates just how dense and urban Baltimore is. Its skyline is incredible, from the air or ground.

[B'lieve]

Thanks for the great pics! That's a view of Baltimore you don't often see, especially the west side of downtown, Poppleton, and even a glimpse of Rosemont at the top of the pic. That's one part of the city I haven't been in yet.

I like that i got to see the stretch of Rt. 40 b/wn Franklin and Mulberry streets ("above"/west of downtown, in the green strip with the cross-streets carried over it on bridges). It was intended to be part of I-70, which thankfully never made it very far into the city itself, and still takes a bit of rush-hour traffic off of Franklin and Mulberry Streets (for about a mile, after which everyone gets dumped either back onto those two streets going east or Edmondson Ave goin west). I've been wondering about it for a while; if the proposed Red Line ever gets built, and people with some sense and foresight are involved (hahahahahah!!!--anyone who knows the MTA even a little understands my sentiment), they'll run part of it in that Rt. 40 cut and save themselves some tunneling. It looks like there's room to build even w/o taking out the road-at most one lane each way might be lost.

Now, if they took out the road bed in that ditch entirely, and fenced off the tracks (esp. in the unlikely event the Red Line is heavy rail) except around the Poppleton station, West Baltimore would have itself a nice community park to boot. Since that highway segment is so short and dumps its burden back onto the streets within a few minutes anyway, losing it wouldn't add much to traffic, and the rail line would probably pick up enough ridership to balance out the loss of a few traffic lanes.

And if Cirrus or any other locals read this, don't worry TOO much about BRT being foisted on Baltimore anytime soon. Erlich, Flanagan and their highway-happy, begrudge-a-few-buses-for-the-po' crew in MDOT are more focused on the DC suburbs right now. Between that and the snail's pace of, well, almost everything the MTA does, by the time any part of our transit plan actually starts to get built, they'll be gone.

Anyway, thanks for the pics! :tup:

The view of Balitmore show's how dense their downtown is.

The aerial of Charlotte is interesting too. You can see the full I-277/I-77 uptown loop.
