looking south.. the docklands ot the left, marine drive to the right, cst to the bottom right, the green areas are the oval, cross and azad maidan, nariman point and cuffe parade in the distance. and somewhere over there in the middle of it all the gateway of india, rajabai tower, the stock exchange, etc etc..

Killer.

strangely enough, that's precisely how i view south bombay nowadays.

and what a gloriously clear day.

do you know who took this photo? or how it was taken? or even when?

no idea who took the snap, but it seems recently taken, at least after buckley court was built.

thats not buckley, but i'm sure its recent. its just that a friends friend claimed to have taken the photo for a class, in a helicopter and my friend didn't beleive him and together we were trying to unearth the mystery and develop conspiracy theories, but you have proved to be a dead end.

To see a full sized pic and many more nice and ugly pictures of Mumbai and Indian cities, check out the India subforum at http://www.skyscrapercity.com/
There's a bunch of kids (who are not intellectuals/architects/engineers) out at that site who are digging out Mumbai and other Indian cities as best as they can.

And maybe if there are any architects or Mumbaikars reading this maybe they can contribute too?
Those kids definitely need some help.
