I believe I have found the location of where the new picture that appears on Kaloogian's site was taken using GoogleEarth. Some elements seem to tie in closely between the aerial shot and the high vantage point used in the new picture that replaced the shot of a shopping street in old....Istanbul.
I believe the picture was taken from an upper floor of the Rashid Hotel, the hotel used to house VIP vistors to Iraq and which is withing the Green Zone. More specifically the camera was pointing East-North East.
This BBC graphic of the Green Zone shows the location of the hotel. It is in the upper part of the zone and is indicated by the top tag in the image.
This a GoogleEarth image of the wider site shopwingthe intersection. The hotel is at the bottom of the picture and I suggest the photo was taken looking towards the top of this image:
I think the clincher is this closer shot of the grounds of the hotel which is again at the bottom of the picture. Note the larger store like buildings set among the trees. The three nearest the hotel are, I believe, the ones most prominent in the new Kaloogian photo. Note that there is a tree to the left of the group and another between the leftmost and the other two. In addition there are buildings at right angles to these which also appear in both images.
The Kaloogian picture.

To make the co-incidences clearer I have merged two of these and linked those elements that seem to correspond with red lines.
