Before And After


One question we had on the Life After The Oil Crash website forum was, "where is the before and after" of the aspects of decay. That's a good question. One of my goals may be to get full Google Earth tours out there somewhere on an FTP website somewhere. With a Google Earth Tour you can load up Google Earth on your machine and actually step through the tour and see the actual location on a Google Earth map of "where" the photo was actually taken. Which seems okay from a tour trivia perspective, but the really nice thing about it is, when you can take a photo or original and zoom down to the Google Street map view. If there's a street map view from Google, you can get a 360 panorama that Google took maybe only a year or two or maybe even 3 years ago of the same building. Then take a look at it and compare it with the photo posted on the tour. Instant before and after, decay presented in front of you. See the above as an Example.
