The site is in Dutch, but if you click on "Nederland" on the lefthand side (directly under "Bekijk in vogelvlucht"), you'll need to download a plugin, and after that.. wow.

Interactive aerial photos of the Netherlands, and very very detailed. You can see cars, houses, EVERYTHING. Hovering over my hometown, I can even find my own house!

Pretty amazing stuff, even if you don't live here [Smile]

I didn't know streets were painted white in England, Lee! Much less with giant letters stamped on them!

Harry, I hope it's nothing but you house looks like it will get stung by a Tomahawk any second now!

Click on the little camera icon, it goes to an aerial photograph. You can even pick out our house, it's about the only one with the original (well, not original original, it was built in 1860 after all) slate roof. . .

Didn't you hear Nim?

The UN couldn't decide about Iraq, so they just decided to attack Harry.

Everyone was pretty much OK with that...
