Hello VFB:
This conceivably might be used to scout fishing locales.
Some folks are citing the availability of this service as yet another example of deterioration of privacy.
Go to: http://www.terraserver.com/search/address_search.asp
Enter in your address or an address you are interested in seeing. Other options are to the left: coordinates, zip code, county, etc. I had to do a screenshot to get the image. Using right-mouse-click doesn't work.
The link below is to where Linda and I live in Bend, Oregon. The circular blank spot with the spiral line is Pilot Butte, an extinct volcano cinder cone - now State Park and locals' favorite lookout viewpoint at 400' higher than surrounding terrain. The dark S-shape at top left is the Deschutes River. Downtown Bend is directly left of Pilot Butte, the white shapes near the edge of the picture. About 20 miles further left is the Cascade Mountain range.
