Aerial images
I have obtained from the UF Libraries a total of 1,885 high-resolution aerial images dating from 1940-1965. I don't know exactly what to do with them. I don't guess I should upload them all because they're huge. Even after converting them to JPEG at 80% quality they're still 2+ MB each, which works out to 3+ GB. They're pretty awesome though. Whaddya think, just upload individual images when they're something noteworthy in the image? <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 16:47, 5 April 2009 (CDT)
:Wow, that's fantastic! We could make room for them all, but navigation could get tricky. I'd say start with the ones that go with articles or that have clearly identifiable features in them. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">&mdash;&nbsp;'''''[[User:Admin|admin]]'''''&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;'''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]'''''&nbsp;</span> 17:07, 5 April 2009 (CDT)
:Yeah. Well I thought of doing it kind of like you did the Sanborn maps, and separating them either by year or by flight (for example, 1940 has like 9 different flights). But even then having them all on the same page would be cumbersome probably. I'll start using them here and there like I've done in [[Port of Pensacola]]. These images are really awesome and document growth like nothing else. If you'd like to go through them, 'll burn you a DVD sometime. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; vertical-align:5%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color:#cccccc;">—&nbsp;'''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]'''&nbsp;</span> 17:17, 5 April 2009 (CDT)
