Cool site, but the pics are bit old, my lawn hasn't been that green for at least 1 and a half years

Cheers
Jeff

Edit* I just realized, that picture was taken exactly 2 month before I moved in!!!!! Kinda cool huh?

The pics may be old but they are much more quality than another site I used to look at. Those pics where taken back in the late 80's early 90's and they were black and white.

You like Sat photos. Go to www.spaceimaging.com. They operate the IKONOS orbiting camera. They've taken some amazing photos over the years. Many images are free but you can order full size posters as well.
