It is now possible to see the above on Google Map, which wasn't available a short while ago. All this means is that pipes are being made at this location in Taşucu and nothing more, if the Google Map is to be accepted as is!
It seems like few people got a little excited with the Google image of the harbour where the pipes may be produced. All I said was, "All this means is that pipes are being made at this location in Taşucu and nothing more, if the Google Map is to be accepted as is!". Well, is the Google map actually showing what is there or has it been altered? It turns out one can actually edit Google Maps, but I'm not sure to what degree. Perhaps GR can tell us more.
I just find it interesting that the image in the area of the harbour where these pipes are being made (supposedly), is in a very dark shade, except for the actual building where the pipes are being "made" where it is nice and bright as well as the section where the pipe leaves the building (the rollers) to the edge of the water. How can that happen where only these areas of the whole harbour with the "same" image taken at the same time are bright? The dark image also continues into land are also. But few hundred meters away, the image of the other harbour is also nice and bright with blue waters. I know Google images are not perfect all the time and they do come in various shades, but I found this one to have too much difference in contrast.
My other questions on this image are this. If this plant does in fact do exists in this harbour, then why was the video made on this harbour was made with 99% of still pictures? Why wasn't the video shot as is with live pictures of the harbour? This leads me to believe that something very fishy is going on with the Google Map images. Secondly, this is a harbour where a ferry boat goes to Cyprus, so why are there no pictures of these pipes posted on the net by anyone on these ferry boats? Surely some one on these ferry boats must me interested to take pictures of these pipes in the water that is destined to become "Project of the Century", NO?
Few weeks ago when there were no images of the pipes on Google Map, it was stated that the image may be 2 years old, and since the image of the Marina being built in Limassol also was at it's early stages, it corresponded with both the images that they were old, but now that the image of the pipes in the harbour in Turkey is updated, from what I can see, the image of the Marina being built in Limassol is still at it's early stages, unless I'm not looking at the same marina. Surely one would expect both the images should have been updated by now since they are not too far apart looking down from space anyway.
Just some food for thought, that's all.
