Not very well defined without the shoreline correction, and the height data aren't very precise as well, but here it goes:

Looks like I would expect it 1000 years ago. Just wonder where it got that huge hill from? May be a good spot to troubleshoot as I can guarantee there are none in Manhattan.

There are plenty of bugs in the data, although I wouldn't expect one in Manhattan.
But maybe its not 1000 years into past, but into future. And it's a rubble of some skyscrapers piled up

Any chance of a close up on the Rock (that hill with the trees on it) — if it's not too much bother?

Here it is

[Abc94]

Wow that's a really nice shot!  (the close up)

[C. Shawn Smith]

Cameni, perhaps a dedicated "Screenshot" thread would be in order?  It would be cool to have all the requests dedicated to a single thread.  Not trying to add more work on you or Angrypig .  Some of these shots though are desktop wallpaper material

[cameni]

Well, isn't this such a thread?

Hereby I declare it a screenshot thread, thou shall ask for Lat, Lon, Alt and Orientation and ye'll be given a picture!
Except for Lake Lewisville for that's a forbidden land

[C. Shawn Smith]

D'oh!  You would shoot me down in my homeland ... grrrr.  Remind me never to play against you in Unreal Tournament!  Or poker!  (You don't happen to play Texas Hold'em do you??  I'm actually good at that)  

Okay, how about the American plains?  Somewhere in the god-forsaken lands of Kansas.  A flat and otherwise uninteresting geology.  HEHE!

At least you gave me an Evergreen Grand Canyon.  I'll have to rest on my laurels on that one.  At least no one's asked you for a shot of Antarctica .  Wait, did I just open up ANOTHER can of worms?  You HAVE to post it now  How about the area around McMurdo Base?  You know you want to

[cameni]

Nah, can't. Some bug prevents it from refining the terrain there.
But otherwise it's an uninteresting geology

[C. Shawn Smith]

D'oh!  Shot me down AGAIN!  You're a wiley little coyote, aren't you?

Hmm, I'll have to come up with something extremely cool and interesting now.  You're going to force my evil brain to work a little harder than normal.  Somewhere unusual, and completely unexpected ... I'll sleep on it tonight and get back to you tomorrow with the exact coordinates.

Hi cameni, can I ask you to make screenshot of this place?

http://maps.google.ru/maps?q=43.429399,39.884977&num=1&t=h&sll=43.44722,39.914539&sspn=0.044966,0.061936&hl=ru&ie=UTF8&ll=43.429237,39.885521&spn=0.089135,0.222988&z=13

Looking NE about 300-500 meters off the sea level I guess.

Here's the photo of this place:



Thanks

Will need to come up with a white balance matching for human eye under different lighting conditions.

Thanks cameni. How is the tree spreading works now? In the real world all of these hills are covered with vegetation.

[cameni]

It's determined by a statistical function that computes the probability of forest occurrence. It's only valid for a certain ecotype, but currently it's being used all over the world and that's why it doesn't fit in here. In the final version it will use data for forest coverage to shift the probability up or down.

[C. Shawn Smith]

I know you're water data is not yet ready, but how about some fjords?  Sognefjord in particular.

60.99 x  7.04 ... a shot at 2 meters altitude, facing more or less westward (I think that is the right direction, anyway), and another shot from higher altitude, looking down on it

Best thing I could come up with for a request that didn't include Lake Lewisville :p.

Oh, or perhaps Mount St Helen's?  That might be interesting

[C. Shawn Smith]

And you know, I'm struck by the similarity in the two photos posted above.  Except for the trees and the color, I'm amazed at how close to the original image it is.  I've seen this in other photos too, but this one really shines with the detail.
