So, I was looking at the updates for the VE imagery.  And saw they had SE Michigan for 2006 listed.  So I went and looked up where I lived.  And then wondered when last year it was taken.  And I have it fairly well figured out.

Lets begin.

  1. The soy beans are still in the field but are drying out, so this means late September to when they were picked, late October.
  2. My van is parked outside the garage, so this is a weekend I am doing something in the garage
  3. My gun rest is up and actually looking at the shadows, there is a larger shadow then should be, so I am outside sighting in my gun for deer season, again this relates to a weekend as
    3.a. The shadows, they show that the time is about mid morning and not yet overhead as to not cast an East or West shadow (shadow shows that the sun is still to the East).
  4. Trees are changing colors this would be late September

So, taking all of this into account, this area was imaged in the beginning to middle of October (I didn't do any gun shooting in September) and over a weekend.  Likely dates: Sep 30-Oct 1, Oct 7-8, Oct 14-15 or Oct 21-22.
