Snarky. Cheeky. Grumpy. Dopey. Never Bashful.
Reblogged this on Tasmanian Sky and commented:
Woot woot! Somewhere out there, outside of L, and just before 8:30, is our Camp Help But Notice human mandala. Motivating 30 drunk burners, especially on Friday is a bit of chore but it is strangely fulfilling. Sally, the resolution is too lee to actually *see or mandala š

This is indeed lower res than was available as far back as 2007, so I would hope there’s a higher res image out there somewhere, seeing as technology has advanced 5 years since then. In that image, you could pick out the outline of even a single small tent, although not sure if you could make out any individual people. If anyone knows where to get a higher-res version, please share!
Anyone know what happened to the supposed higher res image from GE1 at ” precisely 11:45:40 on Friday August 31st.”?
I’ve updated the post with a link to Geo-Eye’s web site. This contains the “8MB Hi-Res” image – which doesn’t seem as high a resolution image as previous years.
I want the super high res version! I want to be able to see the goggles on my head.
You can see our tent at 6:50 and C
nice
