The View from Above
I discovered a website this morning that shows satellite imagery of any address in the country. Here's an aerial view of our house, taken in 2002. Of course, we've done quite a bit with the place since then...

Go to Google and type "google earth." They have a program that does essentially the same thing, except it's throughout the whole world. They have clear pictures of most major cities, so if you're looking for somewhere in the middle of nowhere (Pierz, MN for example...) then you're not going to get a very clear picture. Anyway, it's a pretty fun program - I was 'visiting' Vatican City yesterday, and I made a stop at the Eiffel Tower. Another website is www.terraserver.com - They have some satellite/aerial pictures as well. ~Aaron :)

Heh... I didn't take the time to click on the link you have under the picture. I guess you found terraserver yourself.

That's just frightening. I'm afraid. . . . very, very afraid.
