I received this short quiz via email. Only 16 questions. I got only 13 right. :( Would love to see an expanded set of photos; maybe we can start our own geography quiz with our own photos? ;)

That was sort of tough, Arlene, but fun. I got 90% correct.

You correctly answered 14 out of 16. You score is 90%
That is kind of tricky, since even if we've actually seen these places, we've never seen them from this angle! Debbie

60%. I only knew 3 for certain--2 because I've flown over them, and so the vantage point was familiar, and one because I'd seen the aerial view before.

Way to go, Lauri!! :app: You're in the lead so far.....
I agree that the aerial view does add to the difficulty level.

I have been to ten of these before. Although you don't necessarily see them from an aerial view, the layout can be memorable. For example, Wrigley Field has seats in left field while Fenway does not. Also, it is hard to confuse Cape Canaveral with Sea World if you notice there are no parking lots in the picture.

The one I missed is in the state where I live...go figure. And no, I did recognize the Alamo.
