Aerial photograph- Downtown Chicago

The image above is an aerial photo of downtown Chicago.  The city is visible, along with the shoreline of Lake Michigan.  Aerial photography reveals a great deal about the geography of an area, along with a detailed picture of the various landforms and vegetation.  In this case, there is no vegetation and the city expands in all directions.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chicago_Downtown_Aerial_View.jpg
