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

flickr user: ATIS547

Westwood, UCLA and Wilshire corridor West LA

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

I figured so, I was last in SF last summer, so I knew it was pretty recent.

^ 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.

Hey it's my town, it looks a lot different from the sky.
