And ornlu's house is none other than 3401 Cornell Road, Agoura Hills, California!

I hope you're BOTH kidding

You can turn your house into a Borg cube.Cool ;-)

RED ALERT! ACTIVATE HULL SHIELDING! FIRE TRANSPHASIC TORPEDOES!!! :P

Resistance is futile.....wow AS I didn't know you lived on a Borg cube, cool....:)

Good find Zhann! "Resistance is NOT futile." - Hugh

`Cause he's Swedish, silly. (Damn Swedish get ALL the cool stuff...) AS

It is the town in Colorado where I grew up. The whole place is at its longest and widest eight blocks by five blocks, respectively. From the house by the red dot, my childhood home, I had less than a block out my back door to "the hill," which was a tree-filled alluvial area that led to the cliffs, and I was gone for the day, never to see another person all day.

Incidentally, the elevations just ouside the extreme left of the image and the extreme right actually are about 3,000 feet higher than the town.

Dang, my house looks like it's in the middle of the woods. But I really live in a city... And no moon, completely wrong side of the country, lol.

AS. Brilliant! LOL

Wow Brit-you are really alone out there. Are you planning on staying there in the winter? Yeah funny about the year thing, mine was back in 1995, five years before I moved there. Maybe the higher densitiy places get updated. Not much has changed where I live, no new houses.

Lol, I tried to find Area 51, but apparently, theres nothing for it. So, getting as close as I could, I managed to get a picture of it....on a topographical map. Mighty suspicious, hm? Of course, it was from 1989, so then, the base was still a 'secret'. You can check it out at Groom, Nevada, United States...just make sure the guards don't find you looking. They're trained to shoot-to-kill, you know.

Ang.. No. We'll head back to FL mid Oct. I think. We did get the house totally insulated (floor and ceilings) this year, so it should be possible to live here all year around. The only problem is the road. lol we only have a "normal" car, and I think that the people who live up here all year around all have 4 wheel drives. Would be an interesting experiment, though. Funny enough, I do stay here all by myself 3 days a week now. John's going in to Atlanta to work. I feel safer here in any city I've lived in. The only thing that spooks me is all the critter the cat drags in. rofl It is so not fun running around in the middle of the night to hunt for a half dead mouse that the cat proudly drags in to show me. The only thing I can tell you is that I was so glad nobody was here to take a picture of me. rofl

OMG Electro they're on your roof!!!! Do you think they use pigeons with spy cams attached to their feet, made to look like those ankle bands birds sometimes have? Can't be using squirrels they're too easily distracted by the birdfeeders. Brit, Don't experiment with snow, hilly roads and a non-all wheel drive vehicle. You wouldn't believe the accidents we have out here and lots of them are on fairly level roads. We have serious problems with snow blowing across the roads thanks to all the corn fields. I am so not looking forward to winter, can I come visit you in florida for say 5 months, lol. Um Electro, how's your gutter work with all that foliage in it?

CIA site has good maps too. I remember using them for my eighth grade CA history day project. I got really good pictures of the pacific islands. You guessed it, Kon-Tiki.

dumb question but how are you european people getting your images? Is it from this link or is there a different place to go?

Ang, A lot better than it worked last month when I was up here before cleaning them out. I have to do it about four times a year. Id hopet it would stop raining two days in a row before I did it again. The first photo was taken March about two year's ago. Even then you notice the house is half hidden in trees.

Ang I got mine from a site called getmapping, which is a British site which is selling hi res versions of the pics. And they do topography images of the UK as well, which could be interesting if they weren't so darn expensive.

How come some appear to be MUCH closer than others?

i dunno..some areas have only a 1km view, while others have a .25 km view (which my picture is of). But Im not sure as of why this is

Well, I googled around and found a shot of our house, but it says something like "GeoMaps" across it unless I buy the thing.... LoL So much for that.

This is where my mother lives... more or less... coverage outside US is very rare :P

Sorta looks like she lives in the twilight zone on the arial view....
