satellite photos of anyplace that you want to search.

Subject: Virtually Fly Around the  World with Satellite Images

Greetings from DC.

Today, on Search  Engine Watch and ResourceShelf (two sites I work on) I
posted
about a very  cool and FREE piece of software from NASA and a group of open
source  volunteers called NASA World Wind that allows the user to use
satellite and  aerial images to "fly around the world."

From the site:
"World Wind  lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth.
Leveraging  Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
data, World  Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just
as if you  were really there."

cheers,
gary
