Default Who's coming to tea?

While trying to pinpoint a particular church in Napoli via Google Maps I was amazed to see this...

I mean - just how low was this over the city?

If you zoom to the limit you can almost see the pilot!

Porco cane Carole B, I've warned you about stalking me when I'm out and about with Silvio sorting out where to dump the rubbish.

Must admit alan h - I wondered the same.... houses show shadows don't they.

So maybe it's a Google thing?

Because Silvio is in the plane there is no shadow - like you wouldn't see his reflection in a mirror or whatever oddities it is that Werepigmies have.

Well, I'm sure you've all worked that one out by now.. Not Berlu, but the fact that in the morning the low sun means that the shadows are off the picture, or at least are at any scale where you might see them.. Sorry, 'coz i do prefer the other theory meself..

I love Italy to pieces but I really dont have much love for Napoli....
