    Nothing much to go by. Should have paid more attention to the question like which LAKESIDE view, could have ruled out Seattle for instance. Noticed too I saw a MOSQUE in one of those pictures, so I put ISTANBUL, TURKEY. Got Vegas because I've seen that view a few times from the airplane, plus what other country has everything cities scattered in BLOCK form? First one had a view of a river, so I picked LONDON thinking the Thames river but got it wrong. Downtown's Chicago, Detroit, Toronto all tricky because all with water fronts and huge skyscrapers.

    Since you asked Alice Springs - although I’ve never been there, I do believe Alice Springs is build on a grid pattern and I know there are mountains.
    I stand by my answer, wrong as it is.
    BTW, this the one I did second guess

    No I didn’t see any kangaroos (the view was from too high up), but in my defense I didn’t see the Luxor either.
