Here's another example of the "Escher Effect" that's sometimes seen in satellite pictures. This pic was screen-grabbed from Google Maps.
The effect is caused when two separate airplane or satellite pics are taken of different sections/plots of a city, and then stitched together. Each pic is taken from a different angle, so the taller buildings' pics are taken with different perspective points, causing them to appear to lean toward or away from each other.

Also, view the original Google Map of the Empire State Building.
This photo is Geotagged, too! To view a map of the location from within Flickr along with many other people's photos of the building, click on the (map) link in the lower right-hand column.
UPDATE 4/18/2010: Google Has Fixed The Escher Effect.
Last Night's Checkins gives a heat map of all the places you've ever checked in on Foursquare. What does this one say about me?
The part of Foursquare that I've become most enamored with lately is this ability to create a lifestream of places. Can you imagine if you had all of this data from your teen or college years? This would be amazing to mashup over long periods of time.
I'm going to build a stupid simple Foursquare app that emails you the places you checked in one or two years ago on this day.
Ok, not very glamour, but if you see this thing in the streets, then your neighbourhood is probably photographied for Googlemaps.
Seen in Ostend, Belgium, the car is Italian.
(The origin of the car, the brand not yet, or maybe, or...I don't know...)

Grove Street, where me and my families grew up. Shit blew up so I moved to the east coast for a few years, but while I was gone things got real bad. Good thing I came home in time to turn shit around.
My work from this weekends Sense Of Place exhibition in Great Baddow.
Inspired by the 1932 Great Baddow Women's Institute banner. My work explores how we represent and experience an area.
I found current online (Instagram, Google Maps etc) representation and experience of Great Baddow an interesting contrast to the 1932 WI banner.
In my work I explore the differences between these experiences.
