You can get arrested for photographing a train but you can zoom in on the Capital Building from space. Go figure.

Here's a birds eye view of my house from the site.

Too cool! smiley_beatnik

Wow!  That's pretty cool!   8)

Go over to Google and download there "Google Earth". It is awsome!

I like to explore Google Earth. The shot of my hometown is quite clear and it is fun to see it from the air. Click on Tolls>Navigation Panel then play with the buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can rotate the image or tilt it forward so it appears in relief (3D) 8)
Not all the images are high resolution though. I can't pick out buildings in the next town. Note to asy, Brisbane is very clear. I could see people on the street ;D

Here is one you don't have to download anything, and can get aerial and topo for most locations, just type in your address or town.
