I'd be surprised if you could see Jan's ponds either...


Checked it out, and my house is almost a direct shot downward, and I
can't
make out any pond. Unlike pools that are bright obvious blue, ponds are
just black holes that kind of blend in with shade from trees and such.
Since there is a lot of building going on in our area, to date it, the
photo looks to be almost a year old. ~ jan


==========
The one of our property has to be prior to the mid-late 1980s as all
there is to see really are some old farm buildings that were torn down
many years ago on the land next to me - if indeed the pic is of our
property. There's a large mobile home on that lot now, and has been
since at least 1988. No one else's house shows, including mine.
Nothing in the photo looked familiar. But then they changed the
addresses out here about 12 years ago, so...........


In the end I could just pick out your house but little more...same
applies to others in a rural location...my Dad lives up in Scotland and
his son-in-law has a loch, stream and trout farm but you can see none of
it and this is on a massive scale (and very nice the trout are when
cooked - I have a great recipe but maybe not appropriate on a fish
newsgroup - he brings them down on his visits)....small price to pay
maybe for me being forced off of my pc and newsgroups....without going
into names (because I don't want to freak anyone) someone looks as if
they live in a brown blob in some woods near a highway....didn't spot
any ponds but a great place to live nonetheless....hey, you live in a
white blob...he lives in a brown one....

In reality it has the great potential for sharing....I've enjoyed
looking at localities....has to be a big thanks to Roy for giving us the
inspiration.....thank you mate...
