It has its moments. It will get old after a while, though.
I found a large burning something, who knows what it really is, while zooming in on the location where the 70's horror flick The Wicker Man was filmed. It's near Stein Head on the coast of Galloway almost directly north of the Isle of Man. That was interesting. It still makes me wonder. I had heard that a pagan cult had sprung up around the idea of burning huge whicker men as a result of the movie; but this seems to confirm it. You can see the flames and the smoke rising up from it. I hear a remake is being done next year, starring Nicholas Cage. Probably won't be as good as the original with Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee. Here are the coordinates if you want to check it out: 54°40'50.83"N 4°24'35.08"W

It seemed amazing if you are interested in the USA - it looks like you can see individual houses. But you could not even make out streets if you were interested in the UK (London was ok, the rest not) or the other countires I tried (Australia, Uganda, China).
The variance in detail is because of the variance in satellite images and technology used. Google Earth is composed of a patchwork of different satellite images, from older KH satellites to declassified military satellites to the older lower resolution earthsat images. A lot of the areas with lower resolution, which is really most of the world, are from older earthsat environmental studies. Most of those were meant to study things like plant coverage and such that doesn't really need high resolution. Very little of the images are from actual Keyhole satellite imaging. Those will tend to be much higher resolution. As more of the Earth is studied with the higher resolution satellites, more high resolution imagery will be available. The images are blended, so it's hard to determine which are older other than by resolution. Also, you'll notice that many images have a set of numbers for cloud coverage. The image slices often say 100% cloud cover for that image date. This means that the actual image you're seeing for that area has to be older, from when there was no cloud coverage.![]()

Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
