Not quite enough of the front cover. Folk will also recognise buildings and such (especially from the "Urban"/"TPOE" sleeve) from the middle picture on the cover of "Systems of Romance". This latest image seems to be overlain with ghosts of buildings - very appropriate. I hadn't even realised it was different.
Well done! I wondered if someone was going to recognise this as the stock photo used on the front cover of
Systems Of Romance (centre image and cropped to the right side only, although the
Systems image contains even more of the right side of the photo). Obviously,
John(?) has added in the "lost city" ghost buildings in the background and is going with the black and white look, although the photo is originally in colour.

Do anyone know which city we can see on the photo?
Hi there,
Andreas. It is New York City (Manhattan) and is taken from somewhere to the side of the Brooklyn Bridge (that will actually be the carriageway onto the bridge in the upper foreground). The Woolworth Building is the tall spire on the right with the Transportation Building to its left, although this photo has been vertically 'compressed'. The photo is pre-World Trade Centre as the twin towers would also be visible (in the big space right of centre).
Cheers ...
