Are they law enforcement/ national security/ intelligence tools? If so, then it is possible that the blurry spots are where there are no drug dealers, no need to have clarity. Or reverse, there is, and they don't want you to see it. Spooky. I know some are so clear you can see vehicles and shadows. Neither my house in Michigan nor the land in Florida have good detail in their Google Earth shots. In Marie's plot map, I thought the barn by the road was the house; with nothing to scale it to I couldn't size it. It's big right?. Mickey the windowman

Not eaten would be more soul satisfying instead of aesthetic, but I get the drift, Mick. Now see, I'm thinking netting like fish net stockings and in an aesthetically pleasing panoply of brilliant colors. And of course they'd have to compliment the colors of the koi they cover. Maybe have colorful banners or standards or windsocks too.

Where am I going to find such articles?

Guess this Queen of Point and Click will have to see if she can find IT on the 'Bay....

The building up front is my daughter's new house. It is 24x60', to give you some idea of scale. So it's not very big. Mine is the same size, you just can't see it for the trees and the dark comp roof. I planted them as 1" twigs some 20 years ago. Their shade is invaluable in the summer, making at least a 10-15 degree difference on those hot days. I'd say my oasis is approximately 100 x 150', again to give you a hint of scale.

Who owns the sattelites that take these pics? I have no idea, but Bill Gates comes to mind. Do you really think the government would share theirs? I don't think so... It's got to be privately owned. There's a lot of those up there, ya knoe?
