Does anyone have an idea of the scale on that aerial photo?

I'd really like to know the distance between those bounces.

Also, a ways back when Nick posted his message "One Bounce from Disaster" then he showed an image of some bounce points in sleepy hollow, was that just the final few bounces before it settled down? When I originally read it I took it to mean those were all the bounces, not just the final ones. I probably read Nick's post wrong, and this seems to substantiate it.
