Bloomingpedia's own processed images
The following images are available:
These images are processed from the 2005 Indiana Orthophotography.
Warning: Some of these files are very large high resolution images. Please take this into consideration before downloading them and be considerate of the bandwidth you use. You may also have trouble loading these images as some of them are more than 8000x8000 pixels in size, which can be very memory intensive.

Other aerial/satellite sources
- http://maps.google.com - (Also Google Earth) Satellite imagery, currently showing data from early spring of 2006. Previously was showing data from before 2004.
- Also, Google recently went to Indianapolis to take Street View images and one of the surrounding cities it drove through and added to Street View is Bloomington. The current images seem to be from multiple dates. At least some of them are from Summer of 2007 and they added them to their site in the winter of 2007/2008. You can see these images by zooming in on Bloomington on http://maps.google.com/ and clicking on the "Street View" button.
