ITT, we try and locate the source of a photograph using google earth, with only a rough location to go on.

For example, this image:


Was taken in New Orleans. It's fairly distinctive, only took me a few mins to track down the exact source and direction.

BTW I'm uberbored waiting for a compile. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Wasn't that place washed away?

I think I found it...

lat=29.9418296648, lon=-90.0610620006

Found it in 3 minutes, dawg

Can you save it as a ,kmz location pin?

I shoulda thought about how to prove this before I started.

failing that, take a screencap and http://imageshack.us it

Here's another one. It was taken in Pyongyang.

Any ideas whast that building is?

Judging by how intimidating the place looks and country it's in, it's probably the place you go "if you've got a fuckin' problem how we're fuckin' runnin' things ya cunts".

looks like a modern take on the pyramid

This Pyongyang building is not actually a government ministry or a place of terror, but the Yu-kyung hotel.
Construction of the building began in 1987 and was abandoned four years later. Some people say that faulty engineering has left it structurally unsound, and visitors are not allowed to approach it up close.

do you see where there are 4 garage doors to the left of the boat? that is where we setup camp and all our equipment. I took a picture from the same crosswalk from like the same angle with carnival cruise ship that was there providing rooms for all the cityworkers. It is really weird seeing this pictures, especially after sleeping in that same place for 3 weeks when it was a big washed up shithole. I can see the same corner i used to smoke in lol

i'll find the picture i took when i get home. good find

I can see some of the landscape ones working like that...but with people, etc., but with the guy riding the bike I just can't figure it out....

You should all check out the Birds Eye views on http://local.live.com/ some are really great.
