Impressive work!

I’m interested in whether you are familiar with the location or if you
figured it out from the image itself? Based on the palm trees,
xeriscaping, and pools at the larger homes I was thinking Phoenix  or LV
to start the search.

I don’t know if is an effect of the shortening service you used, but the
link you provided is centered on Sun City to the NW of Pheonix. Here is
a close-up of the park: http://bit.ly/1fsGxzg  (full link below just in
case).
