Post a satellite photo of your house or apt.
Don't include any identifying information, of course. Just the picture.



The house I live in is the one with the red roof.

Go to: http://maps.google.com/
Click on the "Satellite" button at the top of the map
Type in your address and click "Search Maps"
Zoom in as much as possible, then take a screen shot.
Crop out everything except your block.

5. Well, I will post a link to the house I grew up in.
http://hipsterblogtard.com/gmap/

My parents and my dads brothers built the house when I was a couple of years old. And yes, it is the boring rectangle in the middle.

9. Can't Do It
Google Maps is illegal in Canda. Privacy issues.

43. Imagine that. Privacy laws.
What kind of country has those? Probably the same kind of socialist haven that has national health care.

10. Gosh, doesn't mine look boring compared to all yours
Edited on Sun Jun-10-07 05:40 PM by billyskank
I think my area has a lower resolution than most of yours, too. :(



These terraced streets are so dull. Doesn't help matters that the picture was clearly taken very early in the morning, too.

12. I had to goto Microsoft's version
Google sucked for me. I think photos were taken after a snow.

I had to install something to get this one to work too.

It looks cozy where you live. Townish :)

19. At the push pin
For another 2 weeks anyway. Can't wait to get out of this dump. The landlord defaulted on the mortgage so I have to move out. That's good and bad, a good thing since I hate it here but a bad thing since I only got 19 days notice before I have to be out.

27. Not enough parking space
and a lot of coming and going during the week. Of course not at midnight Sunday, when you just came back home and are searching for a parking spot near the apt. One of the reasons I sold my car ....

33. The house I grew up in:


It's located between the two red arrows. The bottom arrow points to my house and the top arrow points to my dock. In case you couldn't tell, the house is located on a point on a lake (the white on the top of the photo is the lake).
