[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 168066, member: 2740"] Yeah, I think I underestimated how much the camera can distort things. When I was first clicking through on Google, it looked like the tree was farther away from the bend than it possibly could have been when you watch the shot in motion in the episodes, where it looks like the cars aren't traveling very far as they pass each other and the various landmarks. The slight correction where it no longer goes around that larger tree that they removed probably makes a huge difference - and that may have been really distorted to look like much more of a diversion in the Dallas shot than it really was. The road looks pretty much completely straight in Google, where in the Dallas shot it really looks like the road noticeably curves to miss the tree. Yep, you can see that palm grow from the 2008 and 2015 street views! Also, the smaller trees to the right of the roadway go from almost nothing in the 2008 view to pretty robust in 2015. It's really interesting to see how things change over time in these shots! [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/zi97cz5.png[/IMG] I stumbled upon this site a few years ago that shows some 'then and now' shots from a similar time period: [URL='http://www.firstbloodfilminglocations.com/']http://www.firstbloodfilminglocations.com[/URL] (Luther Frick makes an appearance on that site!)
