 | A grid and series of image overlays of orthophotos for the City of Nanaimo, British Columbia. Primarily because Google Earth's coverage of our area is pitiful.
Warning: The overlays are large; depending upon your system, if you click on several overlays at once, you will likely crash Google Earth. |  | 08/17/2005 | 572 |

 | Brooklands was a motor racing circuit built near Weybridge in Surrey, England. The brainchild of Hugh Locke-King, it was opened on June 17, 1907 and was the first custom-built banked motor race circuit in the world. It was the first ever oval style race track built for cars.

 | This is the Piri Reis Map drawn by Turkish captain Piri Reis in 1513. There is debate over whether the land to the south of the map is the south-east coast of South America, or if it is the north coast of Antarctica (which was covered by the snow cap around 10,000 years ago!). I'm resubmitting this hack with a smaller image. Should work this time round! | | 11/29/2005 | 730 |
