The game's simple - Find a sattelite image of your house, and post the URL. The building underneath the cross on mine is where I live in London; most of France is unavailable.

Edit: this image is about a year old, because the library is now complete.
How do you change the URL to where you live? :/
On the little block on the bottom right it says "link to this url". Click that.

I was hoping you could make out the flowers on the front lawn, the building is up on a slight hill and the name is spelled out in flowers each spring. looks real nice usually, but I guess this was taken during winter.

Basically around that area. But this thing sucks I can't zoom any further in because no images exist apparently

Can't go in any closer. The block the + is hovered over is my house.

Yeah...thats pretty unreal, i cant believe there are pictures of the F-22's at my base...crazy. lets see...there are 17 of them in that photo...so thats about 5.1 billion dollars worth of aircraft there. Kinda crazy to think that since im an air traffic controller that whenever a flight of those takes off...i have over a billion dollars of aircraft in the palm of my hands. They sure are rediculously awesome...im one of the fortunate few that gets to see them in action.

and thats the control tower...i dont work there...im in the building to the northwest of it, Rapcon baby....
And yeah, I can't zoom on any airport anywhere...

I'm in the apartment directly above the cross, on the left side, lower floor.

Found my truck.
This is the old apartments I used to live in, and the cross is right on my truck. Kinda creepy.
MAcDill AirForce Base, aka Central Command for Spec Ops, last I knew.
Feel free to zoom in as much as you want.

the airport thing is hit or miss. out of the 3 major ones here on LI i can only zoom in close to 2 of them
It wont let me zoom in on Wshington DC, and I wanted to try to find the Eiffel Tower, but jesus Paris is big.

My house is officially out in the middle of nowhere. I'm really suprised it had my road on there at all. If it doesn't work right away zoom out a little... and it's all in black and white. My house SHOULD be there, right where the cross is, or right around there in that clearing. It's on top of a mountain. :cool:
Edit: I was thinking... there has to be pictures of illegal activity or of a building on fire or something. If you find any of that post the link here.

My flat totally wasn't built when Google Earth first started doing the rounds. But I live there, in that expanse of wasteland in the middle.
Fun fact! All those cars around that little building to the right of it? That's now a KFC! And that building site in the top right corner? That's a massive hardware store!
Man, I love commercialism.

Also, a cookie to someone who can tell me how I know the guy that did this was British.
EDIT the second: No, it wasn't becase I looked on his site and saw the massive Union Jack, that was something I did as an afterthought, but man - this guy has dome fucking cool stuff on his website.

Mt. Everest

The Mariana Trench
The deepest point the the Mariana trench is known as The Challenger Deep, which lies 36,201 feet under the ocean surface. In other words...you could stack Mt. Everest (29,035 ft), The Sears Tower, The Empire State Building, The Space Needle, Taipei 101 in Taipei Tiawan (worlds tallest building), The Chrysler Building, The St. Louis Arch (from center of arch to ground), The Sphinx, The White House, my house, three popcicle sticks, two gummy bears, the left earlobe of Hillary Duff, and finally The Statue of Liberty all on top of each other...and the very tippy top of the torch on Lady Liberty...would still rest roughly 100ft under the oceans surface. just another random fact for the day...figure some of you might find it interesting.
It wouldn't show my exact location lol. So this is one I took off of google earth. My house hasn't been built yet either. So you'll see this little plot of land.
