jaapv Posted April 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Let's try to kick this one off. There are plenty of forum members that fly to places worldwide all the time. This thread is about images taken from airplane windows. (or parachutes ) The rules are the same as the " Do you know the world" thread - the one that guesses the right place gets to post the next shot. I'm not really a frequent flyer, but I can supply an easy one to start: Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Geschlecht Posted April 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Hello Jaap, Glad you & the others are OK. It appears the cars crumpled the way they were supposed to. Not that many years ago the cars would probably have looked better but the people might not have done so well. This Thread is an interesting idea. Looks to me like I can see a very Dutch appearing church on the left side above the middle so I think I will say Rotterdam unless it is Hellevoetsluis. Always be safe.

jaapv Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted April 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sent a mail to Okram quite a while ago, but he seems to have disappeared. Can you supply a shot, Marco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phancj Posted April 28, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 28, 2011 Nice idea Jaap. I am traveling several places next month and will participate then! CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted April 28, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 28, 2011 OK, here's my input. A little help: you can NOT land at this island, but you can on the other part that belongs to the same group (same name). And you can NOT land there without some training. Oh, and a jumbo jet will not fit either On a more serious footing: quite some history to be found there. Welcome, dear visitor!

I'm not 100% sure, but the portion in the picture includes Westbhanstrasse, street of Leicashop...you surely did it intentionally... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickp13 Posted April 28, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 28, 2011 marco i've never been there, but would guess helgoland off the german coast? greetings from hamburg rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted April 29, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 29, 2011 Rick, That's an awesome guess ... the big island, Helgoland. your turn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickp13 Posted April 29, 2011 Share #13 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) thank you, marco and jaap. i should have thought first, then volunteered an answer, because most of my images "from above" were taken before my first leica (the m8) came out. in any case, here's a night shot from one of my favorite cities. good luck! rick Rick - It's a Nikon image, so I pulled it.

Michael Geschlecht Posted May 1, 2011 Share #14 Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Hello rick, Interesting photo. With the hill in the background on the other side of the river I think we might be in South America.

rickp13 Posted May 1, 2011 Share #15 Posted May 1, 2011 thank you, michael. a good guess, but unfortunately not correct. a hint? moving the camera angle to the right (clockwise), we would find a rather posh cricket club. good luck rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickp13 Posted May 7, 2011 Share #18 Posted May 7, 2011 i'm sorry, i didn't see stuart's note about removing the image. i've looked and don't have any usable "world from above" photos with leica participation, so i'll have to pass. the answer to the photo i did post was singapore. michael and jaap, maybe you'd like to restart this thread with a new photo for me? kind regards rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted May 8, 2011 Share #19 Posted May 8, 2011 Hello rick, Sorry you don't have anything to Post right now. Thank you for the opportunity. I think I will pass to Jaap because I don't have anything to Post that is a view from above. Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
