I've been in the Black Canyon when it's looked like this. Does that count?

LoL TC!
klk- notice that the images above are of the same rock...there are arrows that let you view certain imagery from 4 real angles...wild stuff...
Pretty crazy...a plane capturing imagery with 5 cameras...one straight down and 1 for each direction...

I'm ALWAYS looking for new boulders!
I can imagine these types of images could make some pretty sweet maps/topos...
Can you imagine if they did this for the Moab area?! Tower hunting from your desk...

I'd know that tilted bit of fountain formation any where ! It is garden of the gods, isn't it ?
Is that Robbins crack?
Can you point that thing at vedauwoo or maybe zonerland in the superstitions?

Spot on with GOG Jay...not sure what boulders we're looking at though...
I *thought* that wide one was a squeeze/chimney thing described in another thread...something about climbing it, then downclimbing it?!
edit:
Big Grunt?!
Woo doesn't have the coverage yet...mostly higher population areas so far...

Thanks for the confirmation!...but actually Scuffy, it's the same boulder in both images...just from a different angle...
Wild stuff!

I got Indian rock in Berkeley. Fumbled saving it on my phone. Have to try it on computer cool stuff!
Devil's Tower? No population but it's famous. Can we see how Frank'house is doing?

Yes, I realized that, then I toured the upper part of the mountain,
and when I posted, I only thought to mention the 1st photo.
The Crucible and Test Tube are up top at the end of the road. You'll want
to rotate, I think 180 degrees, to get a good look at them.

I'll make my way to the top of the road...

neato, but interesting that only some areas use real oblique photos vs. aerials wrapped on topography, like Google earth. Still, a staggering amount of images involved.

Frank's house! You have to know it's there, he seems to have his black ice turned on for phones, anyway.
