Post your Aerial Photo

Post by Banshee »

Go to http://www.mapquest.com type in your address, then when it shows the map there are two tabs above it. Street Map and Aerial Photo. Click the aerial tab and zoom in as much as possible. Save it, point out your house, and post

FINALLY they took new pics of our neighborhood.

When i checked the site about 2 weeks ago, all that showed up for our house/neighborhood were trees. Our neighborhood is only a few years old, so they must have taken these pics VERY recently.

edit: added another pic

Check out teh mansions:

Thats right next to our neighborhood. Those houses are freakin huge, we drive back there sometimes and there is a 10 foot steel gate you have to go through to get back there lol

Just a map view like mine above.

I believe in Canada we only have Anik E-1 and E-2 spinning in space on the Clarks Belt. A third I believe can not be controlled do to a thruster problem. I could be wrong.

Come on tell the truth, we have lots of tanks.

We use them for flower beds and kids can jump up on them and get their picture taken. They are stored in all the parks for the birds to have warm houses.......... :p
