Look down on me – please.

A couple years ago I shot an assignment for a regional travel magazine on The Valley of the Gods in southern Utah. Specifically, one of the things I was to be sure and get in my coverage was of The Valley of the Gods Bed & Breakfast. It’s an off-the-grid lonely little structure, literally in the middle of nowhere. You can see the B&B as the little white speck on the big open plain. (see pic below)

Now the really cool part is thanks to NASA Earth Observatory, I received a link to a satellite image of the Valley. Below the image is a link to a Higher Res version, and if you look real close in the lower left corner, you can make out this one mere lonely building as a really, really, little white speck. In the same area of the photo you can make out the vestage of the Moki-Dugway road that ascends the sheer cliffs towards the Muley Point Overlook.

    I’ve been enjoying the Google Earth program for the same purposes, though I wish the resolution was higher in more obscure locations.
