It almost certainly is the view from 2227 13th St SW looking NE at the house across the street. The concrete retaining walls and houses are gone now.

Couple skyline pictures from the helicopter trip with work from earlier in December. There was a fair bit of ice fog in the city that day so not the best pictures.
