I tracked this little old mangrove tree from a aerial shot from +Google Maps , it was a gamble trying to find it and see if it would make a half decent image, at first I missed it all together, however on the walk back found it (things look pretty different from up there 🙂 ) – I really wanted to see it at high tide, but timing did not allow me to be there – next time.
Often I will spend a few minutes browsing maps and checking out locations to find interesting nooks and crannies., good on ya +Google Maps 2 thumbs up, I dunno what i would do without google maps now.
