The beauty of maps

Written by Selma on August 3rd 2006 in Selma says

I’ve been playing around with Google Maps a lot lately, checking locations, distances and possible routes. Ever so often I switch to satelite view, and it’s just amazing! It’s fascinating to see large cities and small towns, mountains and lakes in “Gods view”.

And every now and then I come across pure art! Like these:

View of the Mississippi River south of Memphis, TN

View of Trinidad State Park, Colorado

Zoomed view of houses in Las Vegas, Nevada

Near Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Utah

In the bay south east of Gulfport, Louisiana

Weird dots in the Nevada desert (no, I didn’t draw those on!)

View of Lake Ouachita, Arkansas

Car crash(?) in Las Vegas - found at Google Sightseeing.

Ooops.. seems like I ended up on Mars!

Great, great fun! And for more amazing Google Maps fun, visit my newfound favorite: Google Sightseeing!
