Yeah, I picked up on that on some road construction along Guess Rd in northern Durham. It's long since finished, compared to the state it's in in the satellite imagery. So the presence of the carnival is probably just an incredible coincidence (or, potentially, that particular area *was* photographed recently).
Still, pretty cool that it's a lot more recent than the 1986 imagery that was on TerraServer when I last looked at it (which was in 1998).
I know it is not Linux but you guys ought to look at www.keyhole.com, this is the company that Google bought to bring you these images. I spent the $29.95 for a year to run Keyhole on the family's machine. Their program combined with their images is amazing. The highest-res place is in downtown San Diego. Raleigh-Durham has a 2 foot resolution, downtown SD is 3 inches... it is amazing.
They also have a forum board where keyhole geeks get together to trade locations coordinates. There's images in the database that shown planes in flight and such... or so I've heard.
