Google Earthing Chazy Lake

Google Earth just posted a new set of Aerial photos of the Adirondacks.  Some of these were taken during the fall of 2008, a year with particularly lovely fall foliage.  Google can give us some very unusal view of the landscape so I thought I’d include a few on the blogs.

The view above shows Bear Mountain, known to the U. S. Geological Survey as TopKnot Mountain as seen from Chazy Lake.  To the left is Elbow Hill, further left, the slopes of Lyon Mountain; to the right is the Ellenburg Range. Its important to remember that this photo represents exactly the altitudes as measured by the U.S. Geological Survey and is computer generated from an overhead shot to represent the view you see.  It’s amazing how “real” the image is.
