I Swear, There Are Never Clouds Over My House

June 20th, 2006 · 4 Comments · GIS, Google, Google Earth, Google Maps

As most of you know I live in Chandler, AZ or as some know the Sonoran Desert (it isn’t like Seattle or England). There has been one constant though in the imagery that Google has provided since Google Maps and Google Earth arrived, a cloud either over or near my house.

To hit clouds once over my house is possible, I’ll give you that. But to hit clouds every time (at least 3 updates that I recall) is amazing. Someone needs to start playing roulette!

    Google often buys cloudy images because they are less expensive…

    I’ll put a call into the Google Sat Center for you James.

    You wouldn’t happen to be living close to a military installation? ;-) The swedish military use this “trick” to hide strategic sites.
