Here's an odd little high resolution area in Morocco. Not as spectacular as the men around the well, but you can see a farmer plowing his field.

I found in some part of the WM the resolution is so good that I almost feel I am hovering over them and watching them! Almost feel if I shout, the people on the ground can hear me!

Thank you mrdobolino. Yes, I do know a lot of imagery was taken from an aircraft. I think I was referring to the second link of andreykor's post, not sure which link KeithRay was referring to? But either way, thanks for the response. It helped.

dikbrijs: re helicopter?
Looks more like some kind of antenna. But it's only a few kilometers from your own location ... why don't you go have a look?

re: creepy.
So what are we to make of that location? The tag covers an entire block! If no one can do better than that then I think we should not tarnish the whole area.

re: creepy
I found the specific location of the creepy fetus house using an online photo of the house and the very useful "Bird's Eye View" feature in Live Search Maps. I resized the tag accordingly.

A few weeks ago the area was not clear. The maps are much clearer now. I believe the house just to the west is the correct house though.

Pokhara used to be a place, where Hippies from all over the world gathered. The entire area is still known for huge meetings and parties. The position of the rectangle is a bit odd, but concerning its size, it is not much exaggerated.
