I hadn't seen this new imagery yet. Cool. There's a lot of neat stuff going on over at the SEAL base to the east. SEAL team boarding a boat, stealth craft (I forget its name), floating decompression chambers, an unusually stealthy barge that may or may not be something interesting. Trained Dolphins (I didn't realize they worked with the SEALs). If I had more time I'd hunt around for submersibles.
These are all museum pieces waiting for some future expansion of the museum. I imagine some may actually be owned by the Smithsonian as well but that's just a guess.
Try scrolling the view around. I think the odd results are a result of the whole camera pylon being folded over because of the low clearance. They left the camera on even while it was folded over.
Very cool. When I saw it I thought it was shot from Mt Diablo in California. There is a very similar formation to be seen on the road up that mountain too. Not nearly as dramatic but same principles at work.
Devil's Slide was the location of a military triangulation station and observation site used during World War II as part of the harbor defense of San Francisco. Prior to the advent of radar, military personnel would use binoculars and compasses to search for ships at sea and relay their coordinates to a central post. By combining information from multiple observation posts, a ship's precise location could be determined by triangulation. There were six military structures at the Devil's Slide:...
Please make sure that you grab a square image when you create your thumbnail. Otherwise you'll get a distortion (squeezed) image when VGT displays the thumbnail.
Two censored areas off to the west a little ways. Its been a while since I've seen censored imagery. Of course, the same imagery is in the clear in Google Maps. :/
