Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao was designed by Frank Gehry of California and is considered by many to be an architectural masterpiece. It looks just as odd from above as it does from the ground.

The weirdest and best of Google Earth is now available in the…
I noticed the Spain thing in the bottom of the item but I think it would be easier to identify if it where in the header in small little text below the title. Just so it is easier to locate the image.
Anyway, enough about my suggestions. That is a really cool image. The thing I like about Google maps is that you can see them from the top and it just makes the building look sooo much werider.
What’s the interesting bridge to the left of the museum?
That bridge is the Punt de lo Salve Bridge.
La Salve is the bridge to the right of the museum. The other bridge, le left one, is “Pasarela Padre Arrupe” http://www.travel-images.com/eusk32.jpg It connects Guggenheim with Deusto University.
I was referring to “Pasarela Padre Arrupe�.
I know its going to get old with a lot of the fresh place being posted from Europe, but you could add this to the Movie Locations category. It was in the opening scenes of the James Bond movie, “The World Is Not Enough” as was the Millenium Dome
