USVI-On-Line

Here's a link to hundreds of Aerial photos of the USVI and PR...for those of you "data nuts" like me.

There are two groups of photos you can select- "1999" and "Historic", then on the map, every blue dots will link you to a table of photos within a distance tolerance (km) of that blue dot.

This will be of limited interest to most people but it is the best source for a "raw collection" of Aerial photos of the USVIs I've ever found...

Use at your own risk, blah, blah, results may vary, blah blah, don't ask me what this all means, blah, bl;ah, blah...

Page Not Found

Just remove the 8 and the link will work.

Yeah the link works for me as is IF click it then try it again after I get "no page found"....wierd...

Or, you can paste into IE and then press enter...it's a little wierd because it doesn't work directly when I click it in this post but it works just like it is from my IE favorites list...

Some of the pics from 1965 and 1971 are interesting from a historical perspective...

Not as much fun as the rum pouring Gizmo that MargyZ found though!

I was able to get on the website, but can't seem to find the pictures you are talking about! What am I doing wrong? Feeling alittle dense right now...

Try this link: http://www8.nos.noaa.gov/biogeo_public/

then click on "Aerial Image Viewer" link then you should see a map with blue dots that dtermine which sets of photos you access...

Well... I'm really feeling dense now because all I see mapwise is the Hudson River Valley. If you've got the patience to try to help me again, I'd appreciate it because I love pictures of the islands!

Thanks for providing the alternate link Mrsb, this particular link has been a bit elusive...sometimes works sometimes doesn't, I think the link you provided may be more accesible/reliable...

Thank you very much! I'm finally able to see what all you've been seeing. Interesting to see the 1971 maps since I lived there then. Very changed now.
