Get free access to a collection of aerial/satellite/map renditions of your home address. Keen stuff.
The pic to the right is our house (in the upper center) in April 2002. From this you can tell that (a) we hadn’t put in the new fence yet, (b) our lawn was a neighborhood disgrace even then, and (c) traffic on our street is made much more difficult by the giant red-and-white push-pin out in front.

Fun.
This is something new from TerraServer. I’ve been using them for GIS stuff for a while.
BTW
From what I can tell, 04/24/02 was during the time that I was unemployed, because my truck is one of the few cars in the parking lot.
I had a previous post with a similar service via MapQuest, but that seems to have gone away, alas.
Yes…I loved that feature.
Your neighborhood must be more interesting than mine, cause I can’t get that close up a view. Or it’s that sea level vs. mile high thing! But cool none the less.
That’s it — my picture was taken from five thousand feet closer … 🙂
(Both my folks and the Ks have the b&w satellite photo, too, and one of those is available for our house. I guess someone was just taking aerial photos of our neighborhood a few years back …)
Some area’s have been done, some have not. I think San Diego was, but not LA. Most of Colorado was done in ’02.
Also, the ’99 photos’ are 10m geo-referenced, and the ’04 are 1m geo-referenced.
Also, the one of my condo has the 1984 USGS topo, in case I wanted to know how it used to look prior to the condos being built.
Yeah, we have a topo option, too. Not surprisingly, it shows that downhill is the direction we thought it was … 🙂
