Google Maps

In the past week or so, there have been quite a number who have mentioned Google Maps and the fact it now has satellite maps. Its a pretty cool idea, but the fact it only covers North America kinda sucks, but its still good none the less. I wouldn't have bothered blogging about it, except I came across Google Sightseeing by reading Jeffrey Veen's blog (through Caoimhe's Blog). Google Sightseeing is a collection of cool satellite photos picked up on Google Maps. Definitely worth a look I think.

Its actually very similar to Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photography, and specifically "Earth From Above". His photography is simply amazing and persuaded me to carry this massive book all the way home from New York because you couldn't get it in Ireland at the time. It weighed an absolute tonne, but it was worth it. His photography is simply breath-taking.
