Frank, > Yes. See January. Or... go through any of my posts in the past nine months > referencing "dip" and/or "Chicago buildings" in the subject. Unfortunately the search now does not work at all, at least from my computer. The only thing I can do is to browse all message for a given month sorted by author or by title or date. Another strange thing. Yesterday I tried to look on the terraserver.com at the place where I made my observations. Terraserver does not show the place at the highest resolution. (It does show it at lower resolution). When I enter 54d27N and 10d11E and ask for high (1 meter) resolution, terraserver shows me the picture, but 1/2 of the picture is blackened! Exactly that place where I made my observations and the sea nearby. Same happens with some map servers too It looks like the very small scale maps of the mouth of Kielerforde are non-available. Which is surprising to me. (The Navy harbor and the submarine shipyard are several miles to the S of the place, and I can see them perfectly with any resilution:-) Alex.
