Remote Sensing

The remote senseing data presented here is an aerial photograph that makes use of Infared emultion to create the false colors. The photograph happens to be the house I lived in from the time I was born in 1972 until 1990. It is interesting to see the changes, many brought By Hurricane Andrew. There were alot more trees when I lived there. It also conjures up alot of memories for me seeing the home and neighborhood from this view.
