Flood Enhancement Over City Image

This image is the below color flood enhancements superimposed on a Google-Earth image of New Orleans. The color shows some of the flooding as of 8/30. The flooding is probally more extensive by this time. 

I've strung all three together if anyone wants the full res version let me know. 

Image Enhancement of New Orleans Flood Areas

I took the before / after images of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain blanked the clouds, and enhanced the difference which gives a good estimate of the flooded land around the lake, including New Orleans.

The satellite images originated on;

Difference Blue and Red are flooded areas, including New Orleans at the point of the arrow.

Mer-A Spirit, July color view from the hill ...

This is a recent six image pan I just stitched together from the side of the hill overlooking the crater plain. Spirit has a good view. The original is about 2900 pixels across. Colors are shifted to the red a bit because the red filter was in the near infra-red. To human eyes the whole scene would appear a bit more tan and the rocks a flatter grey, the pinkish tinge would be gone from the sky replaced with the color of sand. Desolate and dusty. 

Sunset from Gusev Crater

The spirit rover (mer-a) recently took this color sunset shot from the hill it's been climbing looking out across the crater floor. This image was processed to merge the sun into a single image from the red green blue images. 

Same number 4 just south of I90. 

2005 Seafair, number 4 in a tight left wing over pulling multiple Gs just south of the I90 bridge. Shot with a Cannon SD400. I almost loaded up my full 1Gb card with F18 pictures. 

Five F18s go head to head over Lake Washington

Just about as many head to head F18s in one image I've ever seen. This is the 2005 Seattle Sea-fair Blue Angles last Sunday. 

Took this picture of Seattles' Columbia center last week. I guess its got a different name now though, Bank of America building or something like that.
