Fly me to the Moon!!
Oh Yes!…This is one hell of a trip I would never miss. I have found a new way of travelling. Thanks to my trusty PC gadget, I could fly to any point in the world! I’ve seen places I wouldn’t imagine to catch a glimpse of. Thanks to technology and research! This is one superb adventure I can’t help but share with you. An exhilirating experience which I have been enjoying for some time now.
I was just looking for some local topographical map the other month, in seach of alternate routes around the city. Well as we all know, traffic is a major problem in almost every major city. Anyway, I went "googling" around for the most detailed map on earth I could find, and to my suprise there was indeed one.
Looking into it was so life like, I thought I was just flying over places I have been treading on for the past 20 years or so. From over our old housing project, my high school alma mater, the metropolis, friend’s houses, to different populated cites in the Philippines and the rest of the World. Not to mention, some major land marks and tourist spots! An almost detailed birds-eye view every continent in the entire planet; at least most of them as of today.
I have seen places like Manhattan New York, China, Sydney Australia, France and other tourist areas around the world. Here are some grabbed images from my desktop at home.
This is one way to live those long time dreams of travelling around the world. I think this site has a very cool idea of delivering significant information and online entertainment all at the same time in one "free" application. This is one hobby I probably wouldn’t grow tired of. It sort of makes me feel like I really am Superman! I can only imagine how it would look a few more years from now. No doubt, this is one practical way to travel around the world.
Unfortunately, I
could’nt access it from my office. Thanks to the network admins for their keen
filtering and patching of some ports. Here is the link to the wonderful experience of travelling via Google Earth: http://earth.google.com/ Enjoy!
Hmmm…I wonder if they already have a map to the moon?
