Eye in the Sky

I like to play with Google maps and zoom around various places. Last week I learned about another site, zillow.com.

It's a real estate website. It gives you satellite images of homes and also can give you values of each house.

There are gaps in the information, but it is interesting to look at different areas. The houses in my town don't show any values. It's not that our homes are worthless, it's just that they don't have the information. They also don't have any information for Alaska or Canada.

They also have a page that is famous houses. You can rotate the view on some of those houses and see it from different angles. link.

Here's a picture of my street. Ours is the yard fortified by a square of cypress trees.
