The Internet’s incredible collection of files – everything from ancient Babylonian texts to Beyonce’s latest video – probably includes photographs of your house. Images of private property exist both from ground-level view and from aerial perspectives. “Eye-in-the-sky” photos taken from airplanes or satellites are available at many websites, usually at no charge. Locating a sky-view image of your house is as simple as visiting the right site and entering your address. While aerial coverage is not universal, it is becoming increasingly available. Check several sites, as image quality and detail vary, and some images are more up to date than others. For a more robust experience, download Google Earth. This app for computers, tablets and phones lets you experience a virtual flyover of an area, giving more of a three-dimensional view of your house and neighborhood than is available from the Google Maps program alone.
