editMusic video 'These Days' - where is that?
editNear the end of the official music video for the song 'These Days', Macklemore gets in an airplane and leaves London. For 2-3 seconds, we see from the airplane window the city where he lands. I think it should be downtown Seattle, and Elliot Bay. But something isn't right with the shape of the bay, and now I wonder whether that is Seattle, or somewhere else? The airport also looks like Seattle, but the airplane window view really isn't quite right. Can anybody demonstrate that the view is/isn't the Seattle waterfront? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A447:A6CD:1:95F5:23C8:F00E:1508 (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

- He's not talking about the main part of the video in London, he's talking about the shot of the city when he arrives back home. I can't be bothered to link to it or make a screenshot, but it's at 3'18" of the video. --Viennese Waltz 06:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, I saw that. Most of the video was filmed in London, indeed. But not the part I'm asking about - when Macklemore leaves London, on a plane, and lands in another place. Which you can see out of the window. Of the plane. I'm trying to understand if the place where he goes, after he leaves London, is Seattle, or somewhere else. Thanks if anybody can help solve that riddle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A447:A6CD:1:4C35:4C7:DAB3:6FD5 (talk) 06:44, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- What I see at 3:18 is a "city" area in the middle on a left-right waterline which is open on the left and forms a narrow bay on the right coming back to a fishtail promontory on the upper left. Meanwhile there is a major highwayfrom the bottom leftish diagonally up to the lower middle of the "city". SeaTac runways are north-south, with the main coast to the west. It is hard to say which way the plane is flying, but perhaps it is towards the "city". None of this fits with Seattle. -- SGBailey (talk) 09:21, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
