oh man that is wicked good! How freaking excellent is it that they shot the pic just when y'all were partying back there?

Just think - somewhere, on some other planet far away, someone is also looking at a picture of their block party from space.

I don't think that's from space.

OMG space!!

I wonder how often they update the photos? Mine still shows a tree in the yard that we had cut down last fall. When was your block party, eamondaly?

It's from airplanes in the sky, but it's still quite excellent.

Thanks for mentioning this Astro. I wasn't sure so I didn't commment.

I understand that most of the U.S. Is photographed about every 7 years, by airplane. Some areas, like Washington D.C. are photographed much more frequently.
