Escher would be proud.

OK, give it a minute. This is the intersection of 5th ave and 49th over by rockefeller center zoomed in all the way to level 2 on mapquest. The thing that makes it interesting is that the satellite image runs were done at 3 different times, leaving the buildings pointing in 3 different angles towards the sky and the shadows of them all criss-crossing each other. The image combinations were done right on 5th ave. No one else will probably care, but I thought it was pretty cool. It is only visable for a few blocks at this zoom level.





Yea, I\'m a dork. :P

to scale, the plaza would be a few inches off the bottom left of the picture. You would follow 5th ave (the one with the church on the right of it) down to the bottom corner and keep going a few more blocks. However, the satellite images are not that up to date todd. THis was probably in the summer, if it was taken this year.
