I don't get satellite imagery from MapQuest, but Google Maps is pretty good
The one with the sort of triangular hedge on the south boundary. Close enough to see which cars are on the drive, and to deduce that it's about four years ago. My Audi A2, and Dave's Rangerover - we got rid of it shortly afterwards, it was ancient and was about to cost loadsamoney to keep running.
You know, flying Orlanthi must see the place like this all the time. We say they don't have accurate maps, because people in the ancient and medieval worlds didn't, but RW people didn't fly, either. Get a sage up there with a "copy perfectly" feat, you'll get Google Maps as line drawings.
