cool first comment!
anyway this is pretty cool. moscow or what? snowy, see.

This wasn't that cool, but if you think about it, it's intresing
(first post!

Some times in Colorado it is like this; you could be in one part of twn with it snowing, take a 30- minute drive and it is like 80 degrees. i guess that is what this is like.

Hey, I sent u an email with another cool optical illusion it's yet another google earth thing, pretty kool! Enjoy what I sent!

Pretty Cool if you think bout it you know that somthing ike that could never happen so it has to be a technical difficulty

thats cool its like a clouds over one side

Ummmmm...


If u didn't get that last post, which I think u saw, check ur email, by the way, kool illusion!!!

These Google Earth "mistakes" are really neat. My yard borders a golf course that is suffering from this same "What Season Is It Anyways??" syndrome in Google Earth.

That's awesome! 3rd post!

just a little obvious, but pretty cool.. woo 3rd comment!

This is alright, seeing as how this doesn't happen everyday.

Ok... Sry but I don't get it.
It's really cool though.

I don't get this one.
Sry...

I fly around Google Earth all the time, so having so many of these posted here isn't interesting at all.
As much as I love your site, and am grateful for the widget, I'm kinda sick of finding such a large percentage of Google Earth shots here.
How about some more of those crazy bottles?! :-)

what's with this first post thing? i don't get it. it's annoying!

It isn't different times of the year, it is a different type of camera being used, i.e. Infrared vs visible light.
The water wouldnot be completely white even if frozen over.
look at the buildings in the top part, the shadows are sort of sketchy. This has happened where the satelite used a different type of camera to record where it was when that part of the earth was in shadow.(night) Eventually they will go back over that part of the earth and retake photos and relayer them.

Derp,maybe before making an arse of myself and stating what I believe is obvious, I should look at the program and zoom out a little huh?

I was completely off, I have run across that before with different cameras being used for areas in shadow, but this is obviously right it is snow, there is ice if you zoom out a little in google earth you will see breaks in the ice, when you zoom in, you can see shadows on the snow.

Duh, open mouth, insert foot!

Keep up the illusions, they are great, as always!

if you look closely, the trees in the white area are all leafless. And if you look in the green area, the trees are covered. This evidence supports the layered photos theory. (Pics taken during summer+winter)

thats freaken cool

that isn't snow. I saw that effect over Rio de Janeiro just after Google Earth came up. there's no snow in Rio, but the effect was there that time.

hmm. I love yur site but i dont think that the repeated Google Earth posts are a very good idea.

Every time I look at this page I see at least five people saying they posted their comment first. Have people not noticed that when post #2 says they're first, they look like an idiot? Play it safe, please.

dovrebbe essere la polonia... non è un gran chè

These are quite common infact :)

I think it's just a cloud

this is crap, Jacer Szydlowski must be a pot head if he thinks that is cool, the inside of my bum hole is more interesting! lets sort it out, please!!!!

Its Poland,not Russia!! and if you zoom out You can see its just taken on a different date.
Is this so special,na.

tottaly awsome!!!! but i don't really get it.:( but that is really awosome!!! comment 3, totally awsome!!!!(lets be best freinds!!!) and when you get to read this give me a message that says gater gator gator!!! see ya

This is cool when you use google earth/maps. There is just a small strip of snowy area and the rest is green!

That is obvisously a photoshoped image. There is no way that it could look like that on the water. Only lake water can become frozen. Ocean water cannot. Besides, you can see the gradient on the white to the real image. I like the whole site, just not this image.

WEATHERMAN:And on the southside it will be slightly cloudy, but if you take a short walk north you will run into rough snowstorms and subzero tempatures

Da white part is from a bit on google earth were you can turn 3D builings on and the area around them turns white!!!

If you look closly at the buildings in the white there actually 3D!!!
...i think

Same area another mismatch

Thas so weird...but if you scroll all the way down to the last comment copy that link into the web address box, you can see other mixups...check it out.

Hahahaha - that happens in Flight Sim 2004 (and FS X) if you suddenly change the weather in flight - lol!

Ps - cool illusion ;)

There's some freaking illusion around the area of the Nazca lines (Peru, I think), but I don't know the coordinates. There is a road that vanishes into thin air and pops again many miles to the north.
