If you view the sand bar on google earth you can see all these little tiny roost marks in the water.. but there are no people or kites in the air.

Kind of strange, did someone actually erase them out?

most likely a long exposure. anything moving will show up as a slight blur or not there at all.

I hadn't been on Google Earth for a month or so, but just the other day I noticed that they've been updating Oregon. Mt. Hood as well as some of the western gorge is now in "high res"!

That is uber cool.

It's weird though, you can see board wakes..maybe its wind chop.

Either way I should be working right now. Smile
