Jon,
You can get a close up of that picture. BTW, is one of your trucks under some sort of cover? I'm watching you!

Grrr. Okay. So I tried the Windows 2000 machine. Trying
live.maps.com, it kept getting an error and killing the
browser.
Downloaded googleearth and all I get is some yellow outlines
or roads with little circles all over (I'm supposing of so-called
interesting places.) No images. Clicking on Help and picking
either User Guide or Tutorial did absolutely nothing.
All-in-all - both still operated as expected - no concept of
resiliency and reliability in things done today, no sense of
history.

Louis your neighborhood looks very pretty from above with the green grass and trees and the orange roofs, but I’m wondering what those long apartment buildings look like from the street?
Nathan, your neighborhood looks almost like it could be here in the US, I’m curious to see what those houses look like.
Sam it’s going to be hard to help unless I know exactly what happened when you tried my instructions:
1 Navigate to your home,
2 Press the print screen button on your keyboard,
3 Open your paint program,
4 Select Edit…Paste (or hold down the control key and press v),
5 Save the picture as a jpeg file format,
6 Upload to AW
Which one of these steps didn’t work?

Zillow
I used Zillow to get this view, just because it's so easy. You can see our trailer next to the garage, it's a white Airstream Argosy. In the back you see the pool (the dark blue one that is rectangular) and the pool house. In back of the pool house is our vegetable garden. The white roof in the center of the house is a flat roof family room, I had the white roofing installed to reduce the heat load on that space.

Robert,
This is a picture of the front of my apartment. It's on the second and the third floor (the five windows at the right of the rain pipe. The front door is on the second floor, up the stairs. Before I moved there in 2002 I lived in the smaller downstairs apartment.

A while ago I took a picture of my car. In this picture you can also see a bit more of the apartments in my street. In the middle of the streets there are different apartments. This street was built just after WWII, the apartments were ready in 1947.

Hi Robert,
I've attached a link which should point to all residential property for sale in our area.
We live in an old part of the City, about 5km in a straight line from the CBD. Most of the original houses were built here by the 1920's, with the rest comming post WW2.
Because we're so close to the city, in the last 15-20 years, there has been a trend to taking an old house off a large block, and replacing it with a 6pack of townhouses or 2 detached but smallish houses, that is what most of the newer houses in our area are.
I'll take a picture of our Townhouse complex from the street on the weekend, our place was built in 1990 and luckily came on the tail end of quality building.
We love the area we live in, because we're so close to the city. We've been looking at houses and we both like the Art Deco style of the 1930's, which tends to be lowset brick, with lots of curves and arches. Our suburb either pre or post dates that building style, so we'd need to move further out, into a slightly newer area to get what we want. For now we're happy where we are, I could just do with a little more Washing machine storage

Good idea Nathan!
Here is a link to a Dutch real estate site. I hope this link keeps working, it shows the real estate for sale in my neighbourhood. If you click on an item and then on "Foto's & Video" you can have a peak inside and there are some neighbourhood pictures too.

Aussie houses seem to look very west coast to me though I remember seeing pics of Matts house in Perth and it looked like it would blend in pretty much anywhere I've been in the US or Canada. Are they built with wood frame construction the way they are here or are they brick framed from the ground up like they are over in the UK etc.
These pictures are really fun you guys.
Sam, YAY, I’m glad you got it to work. It appears you live in a nice rural area.
Nathan from the air looking straight down your neighborhood (google earth view) looks something like the neighborhoods here, but when you see it at an angle or from the street level they do look very different, like Pete says, more like houses on the west coast.
Louis, great shots. I love your apartment, the tile roof is fabulous, they must have replaced the roof recently since the Google earth picture shows an new orange roof and your pictures from five years ago show a gray roof. It’s a very different look than mid century architecture here, the population density around where you live looks kinda high but there still is a lot of beautiful green space which is great.
I have to stop all this flying around, I spent 3 hours flying in the birds eye view all over London yesterday, it was just fascinating. The residential neighborhoods well outside of Central London were very interesting to see.
Here is my "Church" as I call it, (X marks the spot) it's where I spend at least 1/2 hour (if not more) spend every Sunday looking at the new vintage tv show DVDs, checking the prices of the plasma tv's (too high yet) and checking out the new appliances, trying not to break any of them by trying out their controls LOL.
Now to go find my supermarket, UP, UP and AWAY -- can you tell I like to fly

Robert (and others) - search for Lincoln UK, both in 2D birds eye view and 3D view - bear in mind the castle and the cathedral are almost 1000 years old. Bear in mind the cathedral was one of the world's tallest buildings before skyscrapers came about, and that it can be seen up to 30 miles away.
