Ground Truth
Intelligence and Related Facilities
As part of our Intelligence Agency model
homepage profiles of the components of the intelligence community, we are constructing a picture gallery of agency and contractor sites and buildings. Some folks have a hard time reading maps and overhead imagery, and we figured that some "Ground Truth" imagery would make things a bit easier to understand.
We apologize in advance for the somewhat grainy and fuzzy appearance of many of these photos. We have had to make a trade-off between offering images that would be nice and sharp but take forever to download, versus pictures that only take a few minutes to download for folks using 28.8 modems, and we have voted in favor of the later. The pictures are of rather inconsistent quality, but in general they all provide the "look and feel" of the facilities, and will certainly enable the viewer to "check out" any of these places that one might happen to stumble upon.
Some of this material is derived from the agencies themselves. In the case of the NSA facilities at Fort Meade, which is a controlled area in which photography is prohibited, the agency is the sole source of photographs. In most instances, however, we have taken the photographs on our own. We don't do photography for a living, which is a good thing, because from the look of some of these pictures we would clearly be starving to death if we were trying to be professional photographers. But we think these pictures are "good enough for government work." If anyone happens to have better pictures of these or any other related facilities, we would love to show-case them here, for credit or otherwise [sorry, we are broke, and really can't spare the change to pay you for your efforts -- glory or quiet satisfaction will have to be you rewards].
This
product is not for the bandwidth-challenged! Most of these images run anywhere
from 25k to 75k, and some of the pages weigh in at nearly half a meg, so
some patience is required.
