Yep good one Seth,
However I clicked to get my home address earlier and the actual picture that came up was from when i owned a bright red Nissan Cherry, parked outside my house..I sold the car 4 years ago..so anyone using google earth please be aware most of their footage is a few years old best regards Derby

Hi.
I tried following the Severn Valley Railway from Bewdley to Bridgnorth. At Bewdley the sun is in the south and the shadows point north. Halfway to Bridgnorth the sun moves to the west and the shadows fall to the east. If you look carefully you can see where it changes. Mike.

you do have to remember most parts (mostly in the countryside) are over 4-5 years old. This is due to the fact that google earth is taken from a plane and they have to wait for the right weather conditions to fly over, so they tend to avoid the countryside and fly over the cities more often. If you look at the bottom of the screen it says who took the picture and when if that helps.

Like Robbo I use Google Earth to check the lie of the land for photographic purposes, it's a real help. Talking of the East Lancs - I've not checked recently but I'm sure that it shows a steam hauled train on the section of line between Bury and Heywood just east of the M66. if I remember it looked like it might be a Black 5
