So I recently got myself a copy of Google Earth and have been having a great time with it. It is really quite amazing the power of this program. Along the way I have found some really cool stuff with it, some of things I found on my own others I have found via the net.

For those of you not familiar with google earth it allows you to explore our planet via satellite imagery in ways that you may have thought was only available to high powered governments. It is also combined with google maps and google search making it even more powerful. It really is quite fascinating and it’s free!

Here are some of the neat things I have found if you have google earth and click the “visit in google earth link” below it will bring you there in google earth:
