I was working on quote for the Grand River Conservation Authority, so I went to their website www.grandriver.ca. While there I found they had a mapping and aerial photos. I clicked and ended up at GRCA GIS Data Download Tool. I played with it a bit zoomed in this-a-way and that-a-way. Found our house in the aerial view. This photo was apparently taken in early spring 2006. My guess is that our area was taken in mid-May when the dandelions were in bloom. If you find the same area on Google Earth or Google Maps, it is of very poor quality.A lot of the countryside is available at this resolution. Even Caledonia is of very poor quality on Google. But on this it is very clear.
