I got into a web site a couple of years ago that consisted of some Russians
selling aerial pictures of US areas that had been taken by the Soviet
military in the late 1970's I think. The resolution was quite good and they
had images of my wife's timber land in Northern Idaho. I forget what the
prices were but the on screen images could not be copied. I no longer have
the link. /jim
