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.

Sorry about the slight downtime there folks. We’re back online again with added goodness. I’ve put the Google Earth links back online with some caching to cut down on the number of database queries. We’ll see how this pans out and then I’ll see about getting the map back up. As usual, if there are any problems let me know here.
