Google Maps: Two Seasons, One Picture

2132.This is the kind of unintentional nifty that makes me smile and laugh a little.

The aerial shots in Google maps are, naturally, taken at all times of the year. In the area we Americans call the Intermountain West, the continental weather influence causes extremes – hot summers, cold winters. Which means, in south Butte Montana, you get winter right alongside of summer:



That's summer on the left of South Arizona Street, and winter to the right.

I love this photo. Two seasons in one photograph FTW.

Here's a link so you can go see it yourself.
