Here's some Google Earth pics of Saba:
Saba, Netherlands-Antilles at 16,000 ft. altitude:

Saba University School of Medicine at 3,000 ft(in 2004 I think, because the new ongoing construction is not seen). The school is slightly to the left of center:

How much more can you zoom in on that?
Could you go all the way down to say..... a Heineken bottle?

Nate, come on now... you know that you can visualize the heap of Heineken bottles and boxes near St. Johns from space by now!!

No zoom needed.

I suggest you get to work building a Heineken wall to overshadow the "small" one in China.

I was zooming in all along The Road and I'm pretty sure I saw a crumpled person next to a scooter :)

Here it is from 1094' altitude. Once you get your bearing on it you can zoom out and see it from at least 5280' (1 mile high).

Btw, Wolfie, thanks for giving me something to waste HOURS on!!

Dang I miss that shack! My house was just past there on the right. The roof is at street level. The guy who collects those bottles was my landlord's father. He made good money recycling them! Imagine how many Heineken and Ting bottles are used on Saba any given hour! That's a lot of green glass.

I've heard several times that more Heineken is consumed per capita on Saba than anywhere else on earth.

One of our faculty's wife is an artist and makes ashtrays and spoon rests from Heineken bottles. Appropriate souvenir from Saba!
