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!

Whilst I imagine incredibly inefficient, its so beautiful..!

Looks like they said "We need someone who can design our city"

Why inefficient? I thought its structure would make it more efficient, or am I missing something.

Edit: I read about the intersections now, but if they act as roundabouts it should be able to work just fine right?

I don't think they are roundabouts, looking from above (correct me if I'm wrong). Sure, it looks like there are 9 or so big roundabouts. But for every roundabout there are 50 semaphore 4way intersections.

Think it's as efficient as it looks?

I have seen some comments complaining about the traffic so probably not.

All those six way intersections look awful for traffic.

Those intersections remind me of Washington, DC, and there they are indeed very bad for traffic.

It feels like modern cities, at least here in Europe, are trying to effectively remove traffic from their centers. They do this, seemingly, by making car traffic a burden, and public transit easier and often free! I'd say La Plata would be perfect for this!
