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!

Wow, and I thought i had some crazy stations in OpenTTD.

We could have a whole community just for overhead pictures of stations LOL. But if you know of any IRL large ones, do try and share top view screenshots in here! They can be fascinating and beautiful!

I swear I was in a tollbooth once that was the same width and number of lanes.

wow! could you share a location or even better a screenshot from google maps? I more or less accidentally found this one, looking for cool places to get this community started. But I am sure that there are much more impressive places to find around the world!

Just a joke about how large tollbooth plazas are getting. However i do remember seeing a chinese plaza that was stupid big.

Going to Hamburg by train or leaving it towards south, you'll always pass this station, I think. Also very impressive to see.

Some data: Rangierbahnhof Maschen

So I think I count about 114 tracks there, and if Wikipedia is anything to go by it has 145

Google maps is not always up to date. Some of its images are years old. Maybe they have added more since this satellite passed over that spot?
