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.

LOLROFL, brilliant nandhp, consider the term ‘googlesightseeingdotting’ officially part of our lexicon
Has anyone found Spiral Jetty in Utah?
The Spiral Jetty is just in low res…you can see it on terraserver, but not Google Maps yet
