proxieme | Go to maps.google.com and type in your address. Then go to satellite.Zoom in as far as you can. If you live in a slightly more populated spot, you'll probably be able to pick out distinguishing features of your yard (we saw our house and the big Magnolia in front...) We also saw my parents-in-law's, my Grandmother's, and - oh - some airfields in stunning detail.

angel_of_hope | OMG! That is just crazy! Wow, you really can see alot. That is to freaking (er, is it feckin?) cool. Really neat but yet scary in a sense too... ------------------ Ang- ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ cap - sun/asc/merc, cancer - moon |

Rainbow~ | Thank you so much for that link, Proxieme.....I JUST LOVE IT! Spent hours on it (after I finally got the "hang" of how to use it...). Saw where I live near Lake Michigan - pretty close up!...even saw boats in the lake! One thing tho....if satellites can get pictures that close of us....who's to say they can't get even closer?... Know what tie mean??? (or as Angel_of_Hope said...SCARY!) Love, Rainbow |
26taurus | Woooooah.....that's crazy. I was checking out all of the places I used to live. Some come in better than others. .....makes me miss the ole days... |
Bluemoon | Very cool!! Thanks!! |
Philbird | MMMMMHHHHHHHWWWWWWAAA! Got to spy on my mom! We could see our car! |
laglady | this is the best thing ever!! |
Johnny | Wow, that is sooo cool! Thanks, Proxieme! How come I've never heard of this before?? |
LovelyLibraLady | Thanks...it actually sorta scares me though... |
proxieme | It's pretty new - and it's not in real time, so don't worry. For instance, the pics of my Mom's show it during what looks like early summer (...it's not early summer in Virginia). Don't let it scare ya - at least, don't let this scare ya. I mean, google.com has this; there's much, much better (more precise) technology out there. I'm glad that ya'll like it |
trillian | Still, it's all very Orwellian, isn't it? |
proxieme | Extremely. If you needed the point driven home that it's difficult to have secrets in this world... O_o (That is, if you hadn't already been convinced by your SSN, addresses, DMV info, etc. floating around out there ready to be gotten for a small and oh-so-reasonable fee.) |
trillian | Brrrr! Gives me shivers when I think about that stuff too much, prox! Taking a wee bit of liberty here...but... ...what fools we mortals be... |
Rainbow~ | Very Orwellian, indeed.....but I fear that's just the tip of the iceberg..*sigh* Oh well! Luv, Rainbow |
Bluemoon | Well I don't think it is as much fun now. You all make me think way too much..........
|
Rainbow~ | Aaaww Blue Moon.... Sorry.... Didn't mean to bum you out! As Proxieme already said, it's not "real time" anyway... What we're seeing was taken some time ago.... So go just go ahead and enjoy... Love, Rainbow |
marcia | The Bronx is filthy |
Bluemoon | Thanks Rainbow!!! |
