Ime and heamit, Congratulation!

I had found various watermarks to be everywhere in the new high resolution imagery, so I had resolved not to perform further detailed hunts for them. However, you two folks have found a new type of beautiful shiny oval watermaks. When "bebop" alerted me that you had gotten to four, I looked for a repeated pattern and found about 60 more, which come in pairs. I believe that's only 1% of the total in the area.

See THIS POSTING under Mannheim, Germany.

60! Wow. You must have amazing patience and diligence! Not to mention an incredibly fast internet connection. Does Google pay you for this work? They should! (hint hint Mr Google! )

Thanks again PriceCollins!

Thanks PriceCollins. Not sure on the pair thing though. I did find one at this location that seems to be by itself. I do know what you mean about there being several and in a pair. I found about 10 pairs beside the ones I posted.

I've found a few more.

Get the updated set in THIS POSTING.

It helps to know where to look, so the attached placemark is a grid which approximates where the pairs are located. It's generally valid though most of the city, though less so in the southern and eastern border areas.

If you want an area with perfectly aligned watermarks, see the set for Maine, USA.

Ime, I found the other half of the pair about 95 meters southeast.

I think I need new glasses. I just dont see it. I look 95 meters to the SE and nothing. Can you supply a marker. BTW the grid helps a lot.


Thanks
