Same picture I get from other sites. Taken mid July 2015. Neighbor is out with his tractor working on burning brush plies. I hadn't cut any wheat yet. I think started a couple days later.
 

It's fast. Came up right now without delay. The map I saw is the latest Google earth shot which is three or four years old for my location. Was taken in the fall because my neighbor to the north is emptying corn into a wagon right north of my house and there is a stack of stalk bales on my place.
 
Neat. I have bookmarked that site. Close up views are about as good as any I have seen. Maps are a bit dated probably early fall 2014.

Afew seasons back there was a site (think Google), that had pix taken in spring just after I planted a small field of oats. I had fertilized with a pull behind spreader and a garden tractor. You could see evety track I made. Suprisingly straight and uniform spacing.
 
When these pictures first became widely available about 10 years ago, Yellow Pages.com had a neat site, and you could jump your viewpoint- that is to say look north, then look west from the same spot, etc. My place must have been on a seam in the coverage, aligned with my driveway. If you looked north, you saw the Steiger parked in the corner of the field northwest of the house, having made one round with the field cultivator, flattened a tire, and stopped for the night while repairs were made. Looking south slipped over the seam in the pictures, the field was virgin, no tractor visible. Must have been taken the previous day or before we started tilling.
 
I just checked this site, the shots at our place are from last Fall, after Labor Day. Corn is just starting to turn on the sandy areas, the neighbor's cover crop after wheat is green. My cows can be seen in the East pasture, looking for ways to get through the fence.
 
Kinda neat. Must have been taken last September,the silo was partially full,so I moved over in to a field and saw that I was just swinging out on to a headland with the tractor and chopper.
There's a pickup pulling a trailer right in front of my house,but the same pickup and trailer are halfway down the hill too. Must have shot one photo when they were right in front of the house then another a few seconds later.
 
Combine that, google street view and the map onto which most of us are located and one could peak in the windows and see what you're having for lunch..!

My place on this site shows 2014. When I go through Google earth , my place is split, South part is Spring of 1015, and the back part is Summer of 2014.
 
so are these pictures taken from a satellite or an airplane?? satellite would seem tough if its a cloudy day.
 
That is a better shot than I have seen before of my place. It is showing my truck and trailer with the lawn mower on the tr.
 
The picture of my place is more than 10 years old because there are cattle behind the old barn and I haven't had cattle since January 2005.
 
I just kept zooming in till I located my own property. Bottom of the image stated "Google Imagery 2016" which is WRONG, as I have made changes to the property several years ago that DON'T SHOW in the "current" image. Their "current" image is at least 3 years old.

Titusville, my wife and I visited there a few times, we were attracted by the mention of the long paved rails to trails. We enjoyed those long paved trails and some if the quaint shops in town.
 
checked my place, looks like the same picture as my cell phone uses for the weather channel rador, done june last year. whats interesting was i was working on a tiling job last fall and we were trying to find an old line and the guys kid looked on his cell phone and he could see the field a couple days after a big rain and you could see where all the tile lines were because the soil was all ready dry on the lines. what a coicencidence.
