Identify The Great City IF You Can This nocturnal image is the super view of a great city and its nearby area, recorded from space using a still camera with a 400-millimeter lens. The metropolitan area of this city is also laid along a regular grid of city blocks and streets. This is not, however, the photograph of the metropolitan city where I live now. The photograph clearly reveals the street lightening pattern visible from far above. The grid is naturally most evident at night than day. The metropolitan area of the city today includes 25 other municipalities linked by a network of surface streets and freeways. The image area shows parts of at least three cities (right, center and left). The brightly lit properties include large shopping centers, strip centers, and gas stations. The lightening patterns of large industrial and commercial properties are also visible along the length of the major transportation corridors of the image area. A viewer with keen eyes should be able to identify the dark areas too. The upper right part of the photographed city is less urbanized and as such noticeably dark. The dark areas here are largely public park and recreational land. The lower left (to the west) of the image are Agricultural fields which provide a sharp contrast to the lit streets of neighboring residential developments. No more hints. Could the viewers of the photograph identify this great city now? It could be safely guessed that readers and viewers must have identified the City by now !! Not a difficult riddle to solve,dear viewers::

I wouldn't guess, neither if it were in my country...   Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Great riddle. I really don't know but I'll guess Cincinnati or Pittsburg. But I really have no idea.

Hello again Look. It's in North America. Right click on image and it opens a list of options - select 'search google for this image' which takes you directly to another page with a list of similar visual images - just check to see if any correspond and if so then a match has been found. Sometimes specific information can be difficult to access depending on sources even when image found but generally it is straightforward (my experience limited). I only 'cheated' because I knew I would never have guessed/known the answer. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't guess, neither if it were in my country... Thanks for your honest comment. It is better not to guess anything in such cases. However, I may confirm that the City does not seem to be in the great country where you live now. Please check back the answer soon. Best wishes. Stay happy and cheerful.

lol, you give me far too much credit Look - all kudos must go to RosieRosieRosie (SFF member) whose curiosity on selecting 'google search for this image' led her to discover its usefulness. She mentioned her discovery in a blog early last year, said it was very useful for identifying potential scammers. I use if for similar purposes. Maisie2013 also recently made mention of the google search option in reference to tracking a particular artist - that came to a dead-end as it didn't name the artist, only the wallpaper site. That was hopefully an exception. Thanks, enjoy your day :- )
