Did anyone notice that Google Earth has 1 year old satellite photos of the south side of Manila Bay? It is a great improvement over the old photos. Here is a look at Carabao Island (Fort Frank) from 1km above the island.

Hey Fots....Great shot. I gotta pay more heed to Google Earth. This view is clear as a bell. Warms the heart of one who at one time worked and assisted briefly in photo interpretation. My unit in Korea (F-86s) was Fighter-Interceptor, but since other F-86 units operated as Fighter-Bombers, all 86 outfits possessed Target Dossiers. I enjoyed studying them even though it was doubtful that my bunch would ever transition to such missions. It was always a possibility though, thus we had to stay up "to snuff", just in case.

While this post is the result of the boredom of waiting for the rain to clear so I can go and visit a few sites I hope it is of use:
The history tool is also useful as it allows you to look (where images are available) at the same location over a period of up to 10 years which can help identify structures as against trees as well as show paths and changes in habitation.
I also use the time of day tool which by sliding between dawn and dusk allows you to use the shadows to get a feel for topography which the elevation figures alone do not give.
Moving to maps, the Philippine NMRIA maps are excellent value at PHP125 with the whole country at 1:50,000. A warning though: there are two series and so overlaps and content differ (compare the South East tip of Bataan on the Corregidor map with the Maragondon map where differences in roads become apparent. While there is an online pdf catalogue of available maps you tend to get what ever version is available.
