Cryptome had downloaded from mapquest areal photos of the whitehouse grounds. The original ones may be found there. Now it seems that the photos aren't quite so "pristine" on mapquest anymore... hrmmm. The editing on the whitehouse is subtle, the editing on the naval observatory (VP's home) is overblown pixelation, and the editing on the capital building is useless.

IMDb Movie listing for Jules Verne novel. 1) Passpartout is being played by Jackie Chan (paspartout was a Frenchman...) 2) The next govornor of CA is there... 3) It doesn't seem to follow the book too closely based on the cast listing (Queen Victoria?!?), but what the hell.
