Sorry for the delays folks. I had to go out of town on two occasions during the last week. We're back in action now...

Lots of baseball diamonds. That would narrow it down to U.S., Japan, or any of several Latin American countries.

Fairly urbanized with lots of apartment buildings.

Big parking lots, and pretty well-developed road infrastructure.

Heavily re-made water edge. Perhaps some of this is built on fill or is a drained wetland/swamp.

Pair of rail lines at bottom appear to be a commuter station for an elevated line.

I missed that one. I traced commuter lines out of Chicago and then tried it in New York but missed this one before I had to get back to my actual day job work.

Great job!
