Satellite view of Homer, Alaska


Satellite view of Homer, Alaska
Originally uploaded by Valette.

Satellite capabilities were recently added to Google Maps. This is my home town as viewed by a satellite. There are others in the Flickr pool.

This is also the first time I have put anything on Flickr. I like the ability to add notes like I did in this satellite photo, but I really rather prefer to host the photos on my own server.

Well, I suppose, technically I could zoom in to that point on Google maps, however, the quality is pretty crappy. I couldn't figure out what I was looking at until I saw your tags.

That's great. I love all your little labels.
