Hey, here is another nifty use of cameras. Here is an aerial photo of NAC. It's also interesting to look at 2 World Trade Center and see how the work is progressing.
Now you can check out how big your host's office space really is (although it's hard to tell in an office complex). I'm sure you'll get residential areas for a bunch of hosts. Check out globexplorer.com to generate these aerial photos.

I had some trouble figuring out exactly what was what in some of the aerials. Couldn't tell which house was my parent's, but I could find my place. Wasn't as zoomed in as the pic you posted however. I'm gonna call me pappy and ask him to stand on the roof and wave :D

Wow,,,
That's cool,,, but the photos in my area are about 15+ years old.
It shows our place, but all the businesses that are here today... just farm fields in the photos. But still cool!
Got me a new bookmark :-)

The arial picture of NAC is from before we moved in. There are no longer trees lining the highway infront of the building, nor are there any trees on the side of the building. What really gave it away though, is none of our cooling towers are scene on the roof. But that is the general shape of our building.
