I've just downloaded the free version of Google Earth and feel like I'm floating through space!!!  bear_grin I've been visiting our own house, spying on friends and relatives....and taking a peek at the Great Wall of China! If you want to join me on my travels just visit here: http://earth.google.com/ .

It certainly makes you wonder what exactly these satellite photos are needed for. Apart from fancy bits of software, that is....  bear_ermm

You're right Kim...scary is the word. But also quite amazing. We've been trying to work out exactly when some of the photos were taken (the site says it's within the last three years) by checking for building works and so on.  bear_cool

I just love Google Earth. I love to see all around the world. Just yesterday I toured Australia and saw many famous landmarks and I found Australia Zoo, the one owned by the famous but crazy Steve Irwin. I found some amazing airports, one in Japan was so good that you could read the numbers on the aircraft.
