> [@camarojoe](#): > > Damn, its scary how close they can zoom in from a satellite. I noticed it’s taken at different dates and times from the N,S, E,W. But from the past 3 years. The zoomed images are not from satellites as JayS posted earlier. Thats why the N, E, S & W images aren’t exactly from the same time period. The pictures are taken from low flying planes with digital cameras–\> [http://www.pictometry.com/](http://www.pictometry.com/) It would be something though if they could do this with satellites. ---
