Satellite Photography Update at Google Earth

Satellite photography fans will be pleased to know Google Earth just had another big data update according to  Google Earth Blog. From the list of updates it seems mostly US-centric but other countries seem to have had improvements also including Japan, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and New Zealand.

I am pretty pleased one of my favourite Google Earth destinations, Calgary, is updated (allegedly) but a lot of British Columbia is still under cloud. I’m going to check my favourite destinations now…

Cool Bird’s Eye Photographs

By DSLRBlog Editors | Published March 3, 2006

There is something oddly compelling about aerial and satellite photographs. The view from above I suppose is our rarest of experiences but also there is something vaguely voyeuristic about it. This new blog aims to collect the best sites from Microsoft’s new service.

First Google brought us Google Local and Google Earth. Then Microsoft followed suit with Windows Live Local, featuring stunning new imagery. Bird’s Eye images provide a high-resolution, low-angle aerial view of a small area. This website is the definitive guide and repository for the coolest Windows Live Local locations.
