Two city clues thus far. This one, and off of the Genome keyword "The city never sleeps."

No idea, just throwing that out there.

That's good. If I was 1) any good at Photoshop, or 2) had it, I'd back you up on this.

Umm... can someone else give it a whirl?

I believe that the phrase "objects in the browser are bigger than they appear." simply means that the image has been scaled down for display inside that webpage. If you open the image in its own browser window (or photoshop, or whatever), you'll find that it's quite a bit bigger than you've been led to believe.

Other than that, I don't believe that the dome in the picture is the Dallas, TX one. For one thing, the dome in the Google picture seems like it's constructed by stretching a piece of fabric (or sheet metal or something similar), whereas the dome in the Demosthenes picture is pieced together with glass.

I think we should try to find out what's superimposed on the picture, instead of the picture itself.

Well, that weird imprint in the sky. I don't think it can be anything other than a superimposition.

Okay, I've looked at hundreds of pictures of buildings in Dallas, and I have an idea that may spark someone else's imagination.

JP Morgan Chase building in downtown Dallas has a unique key-hole appearance to the top of it - this is a good picture to give you an idea.

The other buildings pictures all are in the surrounding area. The Renaissance Tower for example, has the weird criss-cross lights like the lights on the righthand side of the picture. I've found all sorts of correlations to buildings in the picture, and they all seem to be in downtown Dallas.

Maybe this helps? Razz

Googled [google]"Key to the City"[/google] and pulled up a webpage dedicated to listing every city in every state in the Union.

That smudgy bit at the top, when the edges are sharpened, sure looks like a city map.

Add to that the ridiculously clear numeral 8 in the center of the image, and the envelope to the right of it, I think we're looking for an eight-letter city, probably in Texas.

Unless I'm mistaken, but you be the judge.

I've put lots off time in this image.

Here is what I found:

-the red standing light change when you go to the right, looks like the image flips
-their is a aircraft just above the 8
-the left top corner looks like its been flipped, doesnt look like a regular side of a building
-next to the 8 are 8 windows, under that only 7
-lots of jpg compression in the black area of the big left building
-dots compaired with braille, but they werent clear enough to make out

I didnt find anything good, Roma said their was no puzzle in it so I stopped looking for one.

Makes sense, but I don't see it. In the images, I mean.

Could be I'm blind, however.
