Google Earth couches #5

Now I was in my "blow up" phase of investigation. Knowing the dates and approximate locations of numerous couches and that some couches remained for some months. This one was April 25 -Photo#61

The link below shows it in Googlemaps.

Google Earth couches #4

June 09, 2011 by alex brzezinski in "couches"

During the photographing of volume one I remembered where a lot of couches were. Now that I knew when google earth had done its street views I went through my pictures to see what other ones I could find.

The above photo is from Volume 1 (photo #121 May 13) of my couches - the link below is where it is in google maps

Google Earth couches #3

My next step was to check other photos taken the same day (photo #17)

Since this one could not be found - I concluded that the streetview photography was done the 12th of May 2009.

Google Earth couches #2

June 07, 2011 by alex brzezinski in "couches"

Yesterday I mentioned the couch I found on Google earth. I found that I had taken

a picture of this couch on May 13, 2009 and had used it as photo #16 in Volume 1

Google Earth couches

I am working to put together volume 2 of my couch books and I thought I would look at street view on google earth to find an abandoned couch on my bike ride or lunch time walk routes. This is the one I found.
