This is a Google Earth street map image. They are recorded by cameras mounted on top of a car driven along the road. You can also "grab" the image and drag it to rotate both left and right or up and down. That will let you get your bearings. Because it is one of a series taken by a moving vehicle, once you are looking at the road, you can click on the road ahead and the car will "move" in that direction. IOW you move on to the next photo, where you can again change the camera angle. I suggest you do this. >My first impression is that it was an interception of a ICBM coming into the >atmosphere from the left leaving a large ionization trail by a rocket >propelled missile leaving a vapor trail from the right.
