It seems that with satellite pictures becoming more & more common these days, a lot of cool stuff that was once probably only seen by military satellites, is now picked up by all sorts of commercial satellites:
For many years, Mike Leeds has been road-tripping from his home in Portland, Oregon, to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for the Burning Man arts festival.
So last week, when Google announced its new Maps service, which includes the ability to view and navigate with high-resolution satellite images, Leeds couldn’t resist tracing his 500-mile route, one screen at a time, to see what he drives by on his annual round trip. He never expected that the last of his “45 miles to the click” route images would show, in great detail, the early setup of Burning Man.
With satellite pictures now being found on google, I expect a lot more of these to show up. For the full story and lots of cool pictures click here.
