Three Seasons in One Google Map

Posted by Joel Johnson, March 12, 2008 2:46 PM | permalink

In Bloomfield, New Jersey, just outside of Newark, there's a place where you can three seasons all from one viewpoint. I call it "Google Maps," which obviously had to slurp in satellite data taken at three distinctly different times.

The white looks more like image file error to me and not snow or any other weather I recognize!

Hey this is New Jersey.

If you don't like the weather move a mile to the left.

-and you can't park that there!

This is the kind of stuff I love finding in Google Maps. But then again I like trying to date their sat photos based on construction projects.

Using Google Earth, I found a spot in Chicago where adjacent tiles had clearly been photographed from different angles, causing the buildings to lean into each other.

Devophill, agreed. It's clearly snow when you zoom in. The long shadows of the naked trees gives the "processed" look that may be misleading from the picture above.

I googled our house a while back, where we have lived for 4 years now, and on the sat pic, I can see my 1966 Imperial parked curbside and hiding under a car cover. That only sat that way for at the most 6 weeks, because neighbors complained about it being an abandoned car (cuz of the cover) and I was forced to uncover it. Veddy cool.
