Google Sightseeing

April 18, 2005

(Devils Tower, WY)

My favorite coffee table books are the “CITY From Above” series, where helicopters are taken into the air and pictures are snapped of the top of great cities. I have one for London, and Paris, and I’ve always wanted to get the one for Seattle, but I’ve refrained.

Well, now I don’t have to worry about it. I’ve found the greatest blog of all time — Google Sightseeing. Based on the wildly popular Google Satellite map feature, readers submit thier favorite satellite images, or ask for specific areas, and they are posted in one easy to find place.

Go here to see it. It’s also on my blogroll now as well.
