Sightseeing

I am in love. With google earth. This program is FANTASTIC, and if you don't have it you should. Google earh is a program that allows you to stream satalite imagery on your computer of basically any location on the earth's surface. It is like Google Maps, but cooler. With google earth, you can see anything a satellite can see. Besides this, there are all sorts of community and informational additions, such as the location of the nearest gas station or pictures of the grand canyon. However, this entry is not about google earth alone. Rather, it is about another blog: Google Sightseeing. It is awesome. Google sightseeing is a blog that compilates all the wierd or interesting things that people have spotted on google earth images, such as fighter jets, or a giant fence in the australian outback. This site is great because it is regularly updated, and exposes all sorts of wierd things you might not otherwise be able to come across. The only downside is that it takes the fun out of finding wierd stuff yourself, but I don't know of anyone who would have the time to find all this stuff on their own. If you have google earth this site is fun to play with, if you don't have google earth this site is still cool because it has such interesting content.
