If you're referring to Providence, the small strip of highway you see in the center has been demolished since that picture was taken. It's going to be developed into more university space and possibly even some highrises in the future.

Photos I took in New Orleans, not really aerials, but oh well.






Warehouse District


The French Quarter


Part of the CBD


Algiers, across from the French Quarter and then of course, thats the Mississippi River.

Then another kind of aerial of Galveston, TX historic East End neighborhood from last month.

the expanse of shanghai is impressive, but the close-ups of places in the city center are really impressive. the really like the whites next to the Sapphire glass buildings. it is really a nice-looking city. one of my favorites. too, it seems that Australia has some really nice photographic cities. brisbane, sydney, melbourne and perth. take in consideration of mountains, deserts, oceans, etc., you've got yourself quite a deal to photograph.

liked the comment made by applejack re: detroit. my dad is from there and recently retired as an executive w/ ford motor. i went to private school near bloomfield hills, as we lived in that community. it was a nice area then and now. detroit has some good angles to photograph the cbd. i agree, someone must have gone out of the way to take the most unflattering approaches to detroit. this person must have taught the same photographer that photographs memphis. it has only been recently that half of the downtown has even appeared in photos. it really will be nice to see a photo, which includes all of the north, south, east, west side of the city in a pano shot.

Disgusting. How ridiculously wasteful and inept does one have to be to buy a gigantic McMansion in the middle of the desert on a man made pond in a region whose water supply is incredibly limited and dwindling?

Agreed! I saw that pic and felt sick. Not a sustainable way of life! :S

^ Rest assured all cities have sprawl to some degree or the other, and Phoenix actually uses less water per capita than almost any other major U.S. city. Phoenix has done a better job of preserving what water we do have, and due to the "water credit" that we get when farms are replaced with subdivisions (water credit because farming operations uses way more water than single family homes), Phoenix has actually been increasing her reserves of available water since World War II, despite a massive increase in population from 150,000 in 1940 to 4.3 million today. SRP and other water providers in Phoenix estimate that with the currently available water supply, Phoenix alone could support a population of about 12 million. Keep in mind Phoenix uses little water from the Colorado via the Central Arizona Project aquaduct, as most of that water is recharged into the water table to replenish the aquifers. Even if the Colorado were to simply dry up, that loss of water would hurt Arizona's farmers more than Phoenix itself. Arizona gets about 2.8 million acre-feet of water per year from the Colorado. California gets 4.4 million, so they would be impacted even more than Arizona.

I found two spectacular Minneapolis/St. Paul aerial shots on Facebook and rehosted them on my website so I'm not using up Channel 11's bandwidth there. Here they are:

minneapolis appears to be much smaller during the day light. i guess i am more drawn to recollect its night photos. too, could be the angle w/out any of st. paul in the background. it seems dual cities make a much larger deal over being distinct cities in this day and time than 20 or 30 years ago. i guess standing on their own merits in the photos gives a visitor a good idea of the actual city proper sizes. they are both attractive, and even though i have always been aware that st. paul was smaller than minneapolis, it is obvious the density of st. paul in its core is much smaller. i do understand that the city has worked on that some.

btw, particularly good photo of la, milwaukee, and, of course, one of my favorities, philly.
