Put in your address, and be treated to an aerial satellite view of
your house. I did... freaky... definitely my house, though a few
years before I bought it.

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Did it! So cool!

[Kire]

2. This is Jeff Gannon's house.

At least this is a picture of the address that J.D. Guckert provided to the West Chester University Alumni Online Community when he signed up in November of 2004.

3. Here's my house zoomed in...

[VOX]

4. Wow! Nice Pad -- with either a skylight or solar panels?

Is that your red car? These aerial pics are *very* cool!

Thanks, M! :thumbsup:

[Misunderestimator]

6. Those are solar panels for the pool... it was taken five years

before I bought the house, so, no... not my car.

9. how did you get the zoom so up close?

:kick:

[Misunderestimator]

15. I think that the images are compiled from a lot of different sources...

so some of them are really good and zoomed in, and others are farther
away and not as clear. This was just what I got when I entered my
address... but others I've searched aren't quite as good.

5. how did you get it so close?

and in color?

[Misunderestimator]

7. Just lucky I guess... I searched for some old houses I've had

and not nearly as good pictures.... this it he only color one I saw. Funny, that.

[mikebl]

25. up close and in color

I think when you access your picture, there might be a tab at the top right of your picture that says aerial view or urban view. try that

[Shredr]

30. Is that your red car in the driveway?

What a trip.

[BigMcLargehuge]

8. here's mine

[Misunderestimator]

10. Looks like you have some acreage.... or it was prior to the

area being developed?

[4_Legs_Good]

16. That pic makes it look like you live in a nuclear testing zone!

You don't, do you?

11. My humble abode...

Bad news: As you can see, a condo has infringed on my small backyard.
Good news: Mature trees cover up the sight of the damn thing completely. Plus, it's in a very cool neighborhood -- very liberal, too! :)

[Misunderestimator]

12. Looks similar to my neighborhood.... but mine's heavily republican

guess you can't tell a book by its cover. That's amazing ... the condo building was built to use up every inch of ground they could wasn't it?

[VOX]

14. Almost up to the property line...

Fortunately, the condo is double-glazed and the tenants are all very quiet. I spoke to the homeowner's assn. prez, and he said the condo-people all like my tall pine and citrus trees that cover their back windows -- he even asked me "please, don't trim them down!" I'm all too happy to comply.

The way the sight-lines fall, and with all the vegetation, you can't even see the condo from my back windows. I even forget that it's there!

[baba]

13. That is so fun!

I sent my friends pictures of their houses, too.

Don't you feel like you are being watched?!

[Misunderestimator]

17. Well, we all know we could be watched if someone wants to...

[4_Legs_Good]

18. "Don't you feel like you are being watched?!"

You are... always!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Pfffft. US only.

You murkans have all the fun. :(

[redqueen]

20. Dang

I was hoping this was something I could use to search for liens on my house.

:scared:


Pretty cool, though, still.

[tsakshaug]

21. here is mine

bad photo

[tsakshaug]

26. where i grew up

[GOPisEvil]

22. I think it's off slightly.

My house is not exactly where they say it is. It's maybe 1 or 2 houses off. :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

24. Yeah, it pegged my current house and last house properly....

but the one in upstate new york that was more in the boonies
was off by a house.

[donheld]

23. I love playing with this

[4_Legs_Good]

27. I think this is it...

Hard to tell, old photo, but I think it's right.

[Pithlet]

28. Very cool.

My development didn't exist yet, so it's just a picture of fields and trees. But, I was able to find the house I grew up in. I could trace around my old neighborhood and find my school, the park I played in, friends' houses. Thanks for posting the link! :thumbsup:

[Misunderestimator]

31. Oh, good idea... I'm off to check up on my childhood home...

[Frogtutor]

29. Dang it! My house (and all the houses on my side of the street)

are overlapped by the houses accross the street; it's like the whole section with most of our house and the street itself is missing!
:(

[LeftyMom]

32. I found the hosue where I grew up and the one I live in now

I'm a bit to fanatic about my privacy to share them, but the pictures are great. I could clearly make out my old car out back at my place and my father's car at my childhood home. Heck, I could even see the oil stain left in the driveway by my sister's Chevy. :)

[ronnykmarshall]

33. Very cool.

I should have stood on the deck and waved.



Larger area, you can see we are right off a major street.

[Catchawave]

34. What fun.....

...until I realized how fast the feds could find us:scared:

[Misunderestimator]

36. Great... now you made me paranoid... except I could be lying...

and that's not my house... :)

[Speck Tater]

35. Home sweet home
