Onteora Scout Reservation: |
|
| May 2, 1997 was a
quiet day at Onteora. The camp was closed, and the grounds silent. Far,
far overhead, though, a satellite passed by and photographed the area in
amazing detail. The resulting photos are now available on Microsoft's
Terraserver site.
To capture all of Onteora in one photo, I downloaded fifteen scans from the Terraserver site, then manually stitched them together into one large view of the property. I then added captions to describe major points of interest. I was really surprised to see that structures as small as a Program Shelter could clearly be seen, or that some of the trails and roads could be easily spotted. There are two versions of the photo of Onteora available. Click on either of these descriptions to download: There is also an aerial view of the Alder Lake property: Just click on your browser's back arrow key to return to this page from the photos.
