Extra Cabincolan shots as requested...

Manong Vic,

This is the closest I can zoom in which is in the eye altitude of 997ft. If I'll go closer the image will look fuzzy. Images from google earth that had been shot in the Philippines are not 100% crystal clear yet.

I guess we are lucky because Asingan is close to the tourist spot  which is San Roque Dam in San Manuel. Asingan Area was also included in the  aerial zoom mapping by the Google Earth. I will print a shot for the San Roque Dam Vicinity and also do the close up shot.

I will print some shoot also here in the U.S. of course it's very clear. The streets name were already included. I'll print the vicinity of my address here in L.A. The closest zoom in here in the US is in eye altitude of 150ft. it could see people like a dot walking in the street.

If you can give me your full address here in the US or anywhere in North America, I can look and print it for you.

I am very glad that some of you are happy for what I shared here in this site. Keep reading and keep blogging, this is only a place that we could re-unite and exchange ideas. It's very comforting to share our moments that happened in that small town. Though you and  I may not belong exactly to the same time frame,  still the fact that those events happened in Asingan will unite us all! I guess, we are happy to read Asingan stories and we feel a sense of pride and belonging.

As you can see from the bird's eye view of our hometown, it's small and connected and the people are away from each other. This is our chance  to get together. Write anything that can make us cry or laugh.

Let's all get involved in writing. Please recall your moments in Asingan which you can share with us. We are all good readers hungry for stories with Asingan settings.We can use Manong Vic Journal site. His journal site  already known to  everybody... so let's get on with it!

Best way to view the photos is by using the SLIDESHOW option of your PC, if you have one. Then click it to pause if you want to study the view closely. If you have an LCD TV/Monitor, the details would be sharper. The bigger the LCD TV, the better. If you have an LCD monitor with a DVD player, burn the sattelite images as JPEG images into a DVD-R blank disc, then try to view it by playing it on the DVD player. Most players now can also read JPEG images..

You need to be able to interprete the details there too, especially if you are an architect or maybe an Air Force pilot whose job is to bomb certain targets. Luckily, there are no places in Asingan that manufacture WMDs ( weapons of mass destruction )..Anyway, I spent a lot of time "reading" the details of the map where our house in Asingan is. The rusty roofs plus the surrounding trees concealed it a bit.

Good work, Archie!----#

Thanks for sending me this picture of the “Satellite View”. I felt at home when I saw the site. I was even looking where our house was located.  Have a good day and thanks again.  Your writings are all wonderful. In fact I have been  making copies and compiling them as a book so I can read historical events of the past.  More power to you. Your articles are great.
