Man, I love stuff like this. I think about being down there somewhere, experiencing it, and all those places to go. What lives are going on down there? What stories are happening on that street? In that park? On that ship?
Was flying from DFW to Boston for work a couple of decades ago. At one point I looked down and saw a sea of light like this. After a second I could make out the unmistakable rectangle of Central Park that you see in your pic. I was like "Oh shit, I'm right over NYC!" Really cool surprise, and to be on the "lucky" side of the plane like that.
Had a similar thing happen on a trip back to ATX from Vegas once. We headed out of McCarran going West, but then had to turn back East to head home. As we did we banked right over Hoover Dam, and then over a bit of the Grand Canyon. The pilot didn't say anything, but I wondered if he did it intentionally. The first 15 minutes of the flight were like a sightseeing tour. Again, people on the other side of the plane didn't get any of it.

It's too much to hold, but it's all here.
