Re: aerial photos. A civil engineering/surveyor friend of mine told me that he nicknamed the small aerial plane he tagged along on once to do these aerial surveys the vomit comet - because of the quick back-and-forth required to not miss coverage.


I've lived in Stockholm and I've got to say this is an amazingly good representation. It's really, really slow.

The buildings seem to rise from the ground like zombies as they're progressively rendered in more detail. Once again, way cool.
