Great stuff... some familiar places, and some really pretty photos. I like that one of Pyramid Lake... one would not notice that standing on the shore.

WOWZERS...!

Fantastic, real life photographs...Many thanks... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Makes one realise just how accurate many of the places appearing in the MS Flight Simulator are!

In the Sim, I find it easy to assume that just a small clump of Skyscrapers and high-rise buildings appearing within a large City is because of limitations in generating Frame-Rate friendly "Autogen" Flight.
   The Photographs show that in actual fact these sort of buildings only occupy a very small area within these Cities, eg; New York, Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Francisco Chicago, etc..!
The remainder of the buildings are low-level buildings which show on the photographs, and also appear in the "Autogen" scenery!

I look at  Photographs like these, and I get an overwhelming urge to fire-up my Sim and go and visit them (and perform a comparison!).... ....!

Note: I find that over the Flight Sim years, the U.S. is, generally, very well represented in the "Autogen" department..(which cant always be said for the rest of the World!)......!
