I'm thinking one of the parks in Sao Paulo.  Still looking around the city.  

Edit: Is that taken with standard North = up orientation?

Ah, got it.  Sao Paulo was my first guess, Mexico City was my second.  Castillo de Chapultepec.  Wasn't quite due north, but close.  :)

I'll post one once I get home on Google Earth.  (on google maps at work...productive afternoon!  :devil )
