Whilst looking for anything unusual Up North I came across these dots.I think they must be dog teams.Anyone got any other ideas?They may not be able to do this in a few years.lat=78.1624841648,lon=15.9592500359

I agree too. This has to be a first of its kind.

It would have been REALLY hard to spot these without shadows!

Hi ploppy -

This is one of my favorite finds on GE so far! Brilliant! Your recent Team #2 is harder to see, but after staring at it awhile, I think it's valid.

Impressed,
Diane

Thanx Diane.
Needless to say,of my posts,its my favorite.Did you see my message about The Global Seed Vault.Taking on something like that would be far too hard for me to have a go at and I wouldn't do it justice.

ploppy,

What a great find this is! , too precious to lose in fact. I'm thinking ahead to when Google makes its next image update in this area and the dogs and their people are long gone. Prompted by that fear, I'm attaching an image capture of this spot as an overlay so that the dogs, people, and tracks can magically reappear at the same location, heading in the same direction whenever anyone wishes to conjure them up again.
