Just came across this website..

www.keyhole.com

Claims it can get as low as  1 FOOT !!! 

It doesn't cover my area so I didn't download it! 7 day free registration. I wonder where they got that data from, Military looking to scrounge up more money?

Can Anyone here get down to this level where they live?

Google bought 'em, so either they're using it for their satellite photos or they're gonna limit functionality somehow.

1HSC,  I was up in Wadsworth last year!  We took our daughter to see the Lippizans at Temple Farms. I didn't realise that is where the pyramid is.  I have been hearing about that thing ever since 1985, but I have never seen it.


Apparently I live in the midle of the street!

Mine:

{edit: I wonder what those yellow lines are? They don't exist in actuality.}

So I am moronic bordering on drain bramaged.

Stingray, is your house that little silver square a bit into the forest?  I dig setups like that....did you consider doing a Batcave stealthing of your driveway so troublemakers can't find it?

That little square is probably a tiny bit of my roof that you can see through the trees. There is small gap in the trees right over the house where they still haven't grown completely back together, even though the house has been there for ten years. Thanks for the batcave driveway idea. I'll be off searching for the BYOBC site.

Another thing I find interesting in these types of photos is the apparently invisible trees.

There are two huge maple trees in front of my house (one on each side of the street).

If the photos are taken at a time of year when they don't have leaves, you can't see the trees very well.  You mainly see the shadows of the tees on the ground.

[Stingray]

The trees are all that's visible in the picture of my place.

The image is quite old, some of that highly visible stuff hasn't been there in a long time.

[ErikRuud]

There are actually 5 trees that you cannot see in this photo.

There are three Poplars and a Sweet Gum tree in the front yard, and there should be a Maple visible in each parkway plus a Black Walnut just north of the driveway.

By the way, in the midwest a driveway is where we park our cars, and a parkway is either the strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk or a street.

So I am moronic bordering on drain bramaged.  Those were the sidewalks.      From space they look like they were yellowish, so I thought they were added somehow after the fact.

In my defense, look how different the sidewalks look in ErikRuud's photo than in mine.  They look like sidewalks.

Well, in his defense, you live in New York...aren't the sidewalks SUPPOSED to be various shades of yellow due to....ahem....er....um....the place to go?

He lives in IL.  The only part that should look that yellow is the state border where us Wisconsinites stop by to pee over, although we stopped doing that when the 90's came....didn't seem right to pee on their land while they were cursed with such a crappy football team at the same time!
