278x214 doth not qualify as eye-popping. The image resolution needs to be about 2000 pixels wider and higher to be eye-popping. Right now it's eye-squinting :-)

Ah, clicking on the link and then zooming around in Google Maps is way more eyepopping than clicking on the image. I sit corrected. :-)

Try pulling up New Jersey.

Uglier, more polluted, probably less useful.

Check out in-situ heavy oil production further south near Cold Lake. Steam injection is used rather than strip mining. Much less scarring.
