Default the Mac will cycle through all of them, and we recommend that you see all of them because they are all amazing. But if you want one in particular, you can select only New York, San Francisco, or whatever you prefer. What's really great about this screensaver is that all aerial shots are loaded directly from Apple, so you never have to worry about updating manually. What's more, if you have multiple screensavers, you can set different aerial images for each one.

Aerial is written in Swift, and requires OS X Mavericks or higher. If any errors happen to you, you can report via Coates page GitHub.
