Apparently.

Or rather, that's where I am right now.

Dunno if it qualifies as my hometown, really.

I was talking about Google Earth tonight and joked that you couldn't see anything where I live because it was taken at night.

That gave me a thought though, I wonder what it would look like with aerial night photography. I bet they still take the pictures, and most of them are probably worthless, but we won't know unless they publish them.

Yorkshire may consist mainly of football fields.
But fair point.
