I just went to see Paul (paullyxmas76) at the weekend to pick up some strips he was selling. Thanks Paul, it was great to meet you.
But I had a chuckle when I looked up his address in google maps and then looked at street view, as his house was decorated up for xmas.
It got me wondering... How is everyone else's house on google?
Does anyone else have anything interesting?
Mine is nearly 10 years old, so is nothing like what it looks today.

my google maps picture is at least 5 years old, what it looked like before we bought the house and before we put the pool in.
Interestingly the IPVM Camera Calculator has a newer satellite photo than google's, as it has the half built swimming pool in the photo.

My street view image is from Jan 2010. Only 1 tree difference for the front of our house.
Satellite image is no more than 2yrs old as the mancave and reverse cycle unit are clearly visible.

My streetview hasn't changed much since this 2010 shot. Some of the shrubs are much bigger even after a 2016 mega prune that was necessary so that there was better visibility. There also seems to be something on the lens of the camera.
The streetview 70m up the street is better as it shows my beloved old Datsun 180B beside my shed.StreetView.jpg

Well mine sure has changed in 10 years with the help of a few chainsaws... heck I doubt they even touched a chainsaw and just drove through it to create our estate....

Same as u guys.. Few years old.. Since then 2 trees have come down to allow a better view of the lights and the plantings of another tree of sorts ;-)...
