Under the I think safe assumption that I am correct about the above, here's a new one. I believe I've posted relatively easy ones to now, so hopefully not an overcorrection to too difficult!
What airport? What aircraft and approximate seat (+/-1)?
I will follow up with an image hint if this is too cryptic.

As for airport... LGA?

On the location, a winner! —
— a minor technical correction: we got rwy 33, but the approach is very similar until it gets a bit sporty at the end. I'm honestly impressed it was discernible! 
Honourable mention —
— for figuring out it was a southern approach. True!
Here's the clearer shot I got a moment later:
As for the seat —
Not E145. The first guess (3A-4A CR2) for seat / aircraft was closest. It was CR5 and seat 3A, so basically about the same distance from the wing as 2A on CR2. Should be more obvious for the non-potato photo that it's not the ERJ wing.

Impressive! You must be super familiar with that terrain to tell that from the down loaded image. I was going for the north shore of Ohio on Lake Erie but admittedly felt like a monkey throwing a dart....
