BMoxies 1st Ever Photo Week – Day 5 (Photo Week in Review: Google Street Style)
Early in the week, I made a brief aside . . . something to the effect of “Wow! How the digital camera has changed our lives.” But few examples of recent advancements in imagery have been any more impressive than Google‘s Street View (hopefully that don’t get miffy or try to oust me from Google Plus). And I figure a fitting way to end BMoxie’s 1st Ever Photo Week — I do a quick stroll down (short-term) memory lane . . . just from a slightly different angle. Enjoy.
*******
* Day 1: Multitasking aka Building Moxie‘s 100% Guaranteed Method for Putting an Infant Asleep (Baltimore, MD)
errrm ... The owner after us I guess had a thing against gardens, trees, flowers and bed edging. The box bay window(s) there on the left.
*******
* Day 2: The Polyester of Brick aka Formstone (Baltimore, MD)
Figures! Trash cans there every day 'cept Google Street View day. Innocent I say!
*******
* Day 3: Great Tubes of Caulk in the Sky aka Dap Products Caulk Manufacturing Facility (Baltimore, MD)
Still didn't get a great pic of the giant caulk tubes. No, I'm not stalking Dap but *I* would love a tour. just sayin'.
*******
* Day 4: Could You Do Me a Quick Favor? And Ummm… aka . . . What Exactly Do Timber Framing Crews Do in Their Downtime? (Taos, NM)
Austing Haus; Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico (This is one part of the country *I* wouldn't mind hitting again!)

grrrr. there is something wonky with this post… and — where my social buttons won’t load right … consistently (do you think google has a self-destruct button embedded in their copyrighted material?) thanks Amy and Google Street View is available in Google Maps if you plug in specific address… I don’t think they have 100% but they do have a lot of coverage. http://maps.google.com.
And a little bit on the dismay . . . I try not to let it bug me too much — this property in particular though looked gorgeous in the front– beautiful dogwood and I have no idea why he would have cut that down, beautiful exotic garden that he just yanked out. . . probably too much. and then again … I try not to blame him because he is way upside down on the house probably.
highest in elevation or tallest as in 3 stories tall? either way — you’re right, I picked this one because I liked the road climbing into the hills.

That is pretty darn cool. Free app?
Do you find yourself dismayed at the upkeep of properties you previously frequented? Both my husband and I have driven past old houses and our chins kind of fell. “Oh…they took out my railroad ties.” or “Wonder why they took down the split rail fence that I worked so hard on.” or “Why don’t they DO something with the garden?”
Hey, I’d love a tour of Dap too :)
Boy the Street View of the hotel is dismal. Read yesterday that it is the tallest building in Taos!
