Morning anons. I spent the night looking at historical imagery of LSJ Island using Google Earth Pro which lets you go back and forth in time while still be able to zoom in and out. You can see the literal transformation of the island from almost wild in 9/5/2002 to what it is today in 4/18/2019.
I'm astomished at the number of images available for one thing and for the level of detail. Hell, most places I search historical imagery for have FAR WORSE imagery than LSJ does. Most imagery seems to be cloud free and is detailed enough to show nearly all the construction over the years,.
Interestingly, the central portion of the island where the "tennis court" is completely obscured by clouds (h/t Pink Floyd) on 10/30/2004 and the very next imagery from 11/29/2006 indicates significant changes and is cloud free. Pic related.
There are hours of digs here anons. Every level of zoom in is a new image to save. I don't even know how to go about it. I just hope the two images I'm attempting to post look ok.
I've never self nominated for NOTABLE but I think this deserves consideration. I haven't even seen other anons talk about or use the historical Google Earth imagery for LSJ island. (Not that someone didn't post it, I've just never seen it in and I've been here from the beginning.)
