The cities with a grid system - so much easier to get around....some of the older ones......not so easy...and I hate driving anyways...

Awesome images - never seen them from this view. Cool

At first, the pics were not interesting because all of them were blurred, but techniques and devices evolved over the years and now, you can have beautiful clear photos.<BR />One interesting thing is that Tokyo seen by night is rather green while other cities are more orange/yellow. In fact, the majority of the urban area in Tokyo has light green mercury vapour lamps instead of orange sodium vapour lamps.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/08/07/cities_at_night_seen_from_space_21_pics.html"><B>London and the south coast of England<BR /><IMG title="Cities at night seen from space!
