LuxBob Posted August 7, 2011 Share #261 Posted August 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I Think you are flying over the river Thames, approaching London city airport from the west.We see a side arm of the Thames If that is correct, somewhere near the horizon must be the London 2012 Olympic Games site. Lieven Well done Lieven. this is the River Lee at Canning Town and just up in the top left corner you can see the Olympic Stadium, still under construction when this was taken. Your turn and good luck, Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldossche Posted August 8, 2011 Share #264 Posted August 8, 2011 Stavanger? Not a bad guess at all! Stavanger is the correct region, but the place we are searching is about 1200km away (that is a rough estimation). To give you some help: the photo is a straight north view Lieven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted August 9, 2011 Share #269 Posted August 9, 2011 Looks like the Blue Jays stadium in Toronto. I think it is now called the Rogers Stadium or something like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
etibeti Posted August 10, 2011 Share #270 Posted August 10, 2011 Looks like the Blue Jays stadium in Toronto. I think it is now called the Rogers Stadium or something like that? Ian, that was quite fast. Toronto is right. It´s Rogers Centre (aka SkyDome) seen from CN-Tower. Over to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted August 11, 2011 Share #271 Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask to skip my turn - I just can't find anything suitable. Please consider the thread open to anyone who has an interesting aerial shot to post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuxBob Posted August 11, 2011 Share #273 Posted August 11, 2011 Could it be Obama's residence and a few famous places surrounding that in what is known as the District of Columbia and sometimes known as Washington DC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire53 Posted August 11, 2011 Share #274 Posted August 11, 2011 Yes, as I said, easy .... Not sure, what the real naming is, but my understanding was that the Washington metropolitan area is made of many cities and suburbs and the District Columbia is one part of the city and Obama's current home.

LuxBob Posted August 11, 2011 Share #275 Posted August 11, 2011 Thank you Esquire but I now find myself in the same position as Wattsy, no quickly available shots form above, except of my feet. Might I then throw this open perhaps to someone who hasn't contributed so far but has the picture that will stump all of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 12, 2011 Share #276 Posted August 12, 2011 From which international airport did I take off from today? (Sure. seat 22A is not ideal for photography on a MD80) Welcome, dear visitor!
