What is the purpose of this post though???

Not to mention the obvious point that those DigitalGlobe pictures can be easily found at...DIGITALGLOBE...

(Purpose? Do vanities need a purpose?)

The site, which does credit DigitalGlobe as the source of the pictures, has "Click To See Before" and "Click To See After" buttons that are particularly useful. With a slow dial up modem it is even easy to stop the changeover in the middle to see especially dramatic contrasts.

(That's us Mac users - we like things easy, and we like good graphics.)

I am not a computer expert, but three terabytes seems like a lot of user bandwidth for a host site to allow a user for public access at no extra cost.
