Further to your “View to Achill” item yesterday, I was looking for the location in Google Maps and stumbled across this nearby item of interest – an aircraft overflight.
However, when in 3D view, it gets a bit distorted, making it look like it’s on a low-level bombing run of Achill Island…

Sometimes when you search for places on Google Maps you end up finding some rather unusual pictures to describe the place….

Have you noticed how Google Maps is assigning district names to Dublin’s streets? For example, it’s decided that Stirrup Lane is in “Inns Quay” (a designation taken up by a, ahem, most respectable website recently and that Green Street is in “Rotunda”. Inns Quay is nearly half a km from Stirrup Lane and the Rotunda is also 0.5 km away (as the crow flies) from the street designated as being in that “district”. Yeah, those districts are used for election nerds mapping voters but they’re not district names anybody else uses.
Oh.
