    Reading a post in the main forum had me checking Bing maps out again (tried it around two years ago, and didn't care for it), and I quickly realized it had gotten better, and that the maps had been updated for our property. In fact the most recent satellite image was taken during the summer while I was mowing our neighbors hayfield. Thought it was a pretty cool capture:

    Not a huge mower (JD 990 with a 5' rotary mower), but the field is huge. Just that loop in the picture takes me around 4 hrs.

    That's neat. In some area's you can zoom in closer than your photo. When i zoom in on the the one spot i hunt, i can see two deer standing in an over grown field. I also know of some guys who instead of doing a crop circle cut the outline of THE male body part and bing happen to take a picture not long after. My coworker (who told me) is from your area, i'll try to find out where exactly the field is.
