Where is the pollution?

I was looking at Google Earth and found that the hol in the ozone layer is not there, does anyone know why?

Are you really serious?
OK, assuming you are...

"Ozone hole" isn't a hole (visibly) at all, it's simply term given to the area of the atmosphere which has slightly different balance of chemical compounds (namely: different molecular forms of oxygen) then the rest of the atmosphere (and BTW, it forms usually over Arcticntarctic (though almost a year ago there was small one over central Europe), and only in certain times of the year - during the rest of the year the "lack of ozone" is distributed uniformly in Earths upper atmosphere)

And FYI, a bunch of the pictures found on Google Earth are taken by different companies some of which are taken by airplane.
