Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Wrigley Field is home to the Chicago Cubs and was built in 1914 (making it the second-oldest ballpark in the majors). The historic structure at Clark & Addison maintains its original 1937 scoreboard where the score-by-innings and the pitchers’ numbers are still changed by hand.

This pictures must be from the winter/early spring, as all of the ivy on the outfield wall is dead and brown.
That wide brown band around the outfield is the warning track. The ivy-covered outfield wall is the thin green brand just outside the brown one. The ivy looks green and healthy to me.
It’s easier to see the difference on the TerraServer image.
If it were winter, the grass wouldn’t be so lush and green (or freshly mowed).
You can also see the cemetery to the northwest has leaves on the trees.
is THIS finally the year??
Also, looking to the east, the lake is completely clear and there are boats in Belmont Harbor, indicating that it is April at the latest (or October, for that matter).
Terraserver says the image is from April 10, 2002. Note that the tarps over the pitcher’s mound and home plate are present… Therefore around baseball season.
