The red lines on the picture are 10 feet apart. The first 4 pictures were taken with a camera setup to capture 1 frame/second for 3 hours.  The images are of video quality due to the type of sampling done. You can click on the last 2 images for a larger picture. Clink this link for an explanation of how the red lines were drawn.

Methodology

A measuring wheel was used to measure 10 foot increments for a total of 120 feet. The time lapse camera was running during the process. I stopped every 10 feet and bent over to mark the road. Each one of these stops had a red line drawn through it. Note the 2 red lines on the garage. These are used to register the measuring marks for perspective accuracy.
