Photographs from the 363
largest metropolitan areas in the USA
Per US Census estimates for 2007
MSAs

Click on the picture to see a bigger version with more information. Many of the
pictures were taken in or from the hotels I was staying at. So
don't expect to see lots of landmarks. Obviously, I still have
some traveling to do.
