A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.
I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here
This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

If there is one thing that I keep noticing, when I look for cool places from above, it is golf courses! There are so many, and they are everywhere! This one is Murasaki Golf Club, with 27 holes, and 108 par.
The largest golf course I could find, is Mission Hill Resort in Shenzhen China. It has 12 courses, with 18 holes. 216 holes in total. Id does, IMO not look quite as good as the one from Murasaki

This may not look like much if you don't watch motorsports, and in particular the 24hr Endurance race in Le Mans, but if you do, you may be able to identify the classic track on this map!
Bellow are a few closeups of some of the most legendary corners

I believe that I found these in Egypt, but I am not 100% sure. Some times I get lost looking for cool places and end up in random places!

This, is called the octagon, because each of the circles actually have eight corners

I saw this picture in an article about Panama preparing to evacuate first island in face of rising sea levels.
The article has many great pictures from the location, as well as some depressing one, like the homes ready to take in the inhabitants:
The island is GARDI SUGDUB, Panama

Check out the size, compared to the traffic on the road in front of it! 250 meters long! (aprox 270 yards)
Originally built in 400BC, and expanded in 144 AD to have a capacity of 50.000 seats! It hosted the first modern Olympics, in 1896 as well as a venue at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
