Wrong opposite shadows, in LS there are houses and grass. Bad PS job. In streeetview you can see the fence from another position, but there are buildings there.
Maybe the GM picture is very old ?
Anyone ?

Probably just a stitching artifact. Often when two images are joined side by side the perspectives and shadows don't match. This is way to elaborate and small to be censored (i.e. intentionally altered.)

I found several small censored spots in the Netherlands also censorship at an airport is one of the most favorite censored object. I am not so sure.

Nice find! I would believe it was stitched, but at such an odd angle? Normally the stitching would be done in square patches I'm guessing.

Clouds or cloud shadows in satellite photos can lead to irregular stitching patterns.

I think they patched up the nothern part of the airport with another image in time. Follow the shadows. The altered part might be something to hide in the patch picture and has been shopped. Or maybe not ;-)

The Yahoo maps and the Live maps are the same, look at the small ships in the corner, they're the same.
