Visit the world - from your living room
Steve Phayre turned me on to Google Sightseeing. This website is a collection of links to places and monuments that can be seen using Google Map's satellite imagery. This is fun to play with, and useful for finding thinks like parking lots near places you are going. But, now I can truly travel the world without leaving my web browser thanks to Google sightseeing. Here's some favorites:
And, in the same spirit. Here are some places we went on vacation:
- Mt. McKinley (It's a touch overexposed, so I'm not sure I got the exact mountain)
- Denali National Park Visitor's Center
- Glacier Bay (Better picture from NASA)
- Skagway
- Juneau
- Ketchikan
