Oh men. I was suppose to post a meme tag from Adianka. However, I lost my interest already. Sorry for that. Now, to keep my posting frequency at least once a week, I decided to create a new post from scratch. I remember my reliable software application “Google Earth” and it’s been there in my PC for month’s, unused. I use Google Earth for directions and for sight-seeing. It gives you a birds eye view of a country, city, or the very location where you are now. So why not make this a post for this week? And so I did. I decided to share some of the places I’ve been to with details about my experiences and blah-blah’s happened on that location. It includes images taken from Google Earth.

I’ve been fascinated by the way Google Earth provides near accurate measurement of distances of two locations plotted on the application. I said near accurate because of the way hi-resolution images is overlayed here in the Philippines.

If you happen to hover around some of the available hi-resolution images here in the Philippines, you may find some images that are mis-aligned. Particular locations I found was the area were Splash Island in Binan, Laguna is located. As you can see below, the road is shifted and the continuation of it is located meters above the original.
