What In The GoogleMap Is This?

LABELLE, FL. -- For you fans of Google maps: Here's an interesting new development that Google has made a possibility on their well-known Google map pages. Not yet available for the entire globe or even an entire continent yet, but here's a link to an extreme close-up that is possible for Google's mappers to place on the internet for all to see.

Although most people think of the Google maps as "satellite" photos, in fact they are really aerial photographs made by aircraft flying overhead at several thousand feet or so. The lower you fly the aircraft the better quality the Google maps are. In the case of the link here, the aircraft was flying about 500 feet above the ground. 

What do you think is in this photo, and where was it taken?  Look for a Google plane flying low above your house sometime soon?
