The latest trend on Flickr, kicked into high gear by the creation of a new group pool called Memory Maps, is to capture a Google Map satellite overlay of a place from your past and annotate the image with personal stories. Cool, huh? My contributions, the image above and a revision of the Terraserver neighborhood image, Belvedere, that I originally posted in November. Sharing is caring. Via Pixies.ca and Caterina Fake.

Update: Now Wired has a story on Surprising things in Satellite Imagery, here.
