WORLDVIEWS

Google Maps (T) is a wonderful tool for most Internet users; for me it is also an inspiration and presents endless opportunities for a creative exploration of our planet (I also recommend Google Earth(T)).

Here are a growing collection of images taken from that program. They are not my images, but they are my selections of images that amaze and surprise. I offer them only for your personal viewing and give full and complete credit to Google for them, and I claim no ownership and advise you not to copy them - go find them and others for yourselves!

They are the art of the Earth. I see so much in each one, they remain utterly fascinating to me. From natural to man-made, from recognizable to utterly alien, these images impressed me enough to collect, organize and share them with you. I hope you like them as much as I do.
