Ever notice an interesting view from Google Satellite?
Why not share it with us?
I’ll start with one- a runway (with a plane ready to take off) on the roof of a building in Manhattan.

Are you talking a bout google streetview or is this something else?
Google Earth is: http://earth.google.com/
You mean a sculpture of a plane.
Yep. It was put there to amuse high-floor residents of surrounding buildings.
Lombard Street, San Fransisco, CA
There is one block of Lombard Street that consists of seven hairpin turns, one after the other. What you can’t see from the map or satellite view is that the street is also on a steep incline.
Lombard Street (and its curves) was featured in what I consider to be one of the funniest movie chase scenes of all time at the end of the movie “What’s Up Doc?”

only the elite moderator tactical units, and the security cadre are headquartered there. not for us regular “soldiers”.

Actually, I’ve seen a Venusian-Martian argument. It was shown in the Twilight Zone Episode “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up.”

I cant imagine it is any worse than some of the things discussed here.

Winchester Mystery House, San Jose California
What’s interesting about this structure is that it’s all one house.
Anyone else finding these postings eminently uninteresting?
I am entertained.
I was once “driving” down Google Street View, when I saw the bottom of a car and on top of that was another car…
On street view you can see me (blurred out) on my porch
On satellite I saw a plane’s shadow over the ocean. I couldn’t find the plane though.
TBONTB: Do you remember seeing the Google Car with the big camera on top passing your home?
please do not ask for specific identifying information
Actually I do. in fact , I came out of my house when I saw it passing by. That’s why when you are directly in front of my house you cant see me , but if you continue down the road and look back you will.
There is a date on the bottom of the screen that says when the street view picture was taken. My dad’s house was photographed 3 days before he died. For a long time I loved to go back to that page and see the house with his car still parked out front . . .
