I recognized #10 instantly, but other than that...
Edit: I came up with #15 after further review.

San Fransisco? If not then it seems like the city is in Europe.

My geography sucks. I could only get NYC and Seattle and only the latter because every west coast city I guessed was Seattle.

The last one was Vancouver and not Seattle. Although it fooled me because it's really only mostly Vancouver plus northern Washington.

I got NYC, L.A. and Cairo. Pretty tough quiz!

I can't believe I recognized Amsterdam right away (maybe because I was "flying" when I visited there).

I knew 1, 4 (I knew the country, but not enough to know the city), 5, 7, 10 (easiest of the bunch), and 14. Didn't recognize Vancouver at all.

I got London, Naples, NYC and Santiago. Only reason I got Santiago was because I asked myself what city would be packed so close to mountains like that. I suppose it was more of a guess that happened to be right.

I got the same ones as 4x4, plus Vancouver. I used the same rationale for Santiago as well. Our minds must work the same way since we both see numbers as colours or something.(How many is orange?)

I got Cape Town, Gibraltar, LA, London, New York, Santiago, Sydney, and Tokyo.

I feel like an idiot for not getting Vancouver, I blame the picture being so far off centre. And Christchurch, I should have known that one also. D'oh!

The Cape Town one is much further zoomed out than the rest. Table Mountain looks like a tiny speck.

Haha. As soon as you said that I thought about Santiago and it is red. Much like the mountains in the picture. For the record, Santiago was red before I saw that picture. Maybe because S is red. And 8 is orange.

London, Tokyo and NY only. Lived in, living in and well, NY has a pretty unique layout.

I got Gibraltar, London, Santiago, Vancouver and NYC. All places I've been too... hmmm, coincidence?

NYC was the most obvious of the lot in my opinion. I knew the shot of Naples was of Italy but I guessed the wrong city.
