A couple of places with a view...

Space Imaging has a number of locations on Earth that have been imaged to a very high resolution by the IKONOS satellite....zoom the view from space right down to ground level....very neat......... link

EarthView from Satellite lets you pick your orbiting satellite and generates the realtime view from its location. Different satellites will cover different angles of view of the earth.......also very neat........ link

something to start with......

this space is for entertainment - anyone is welcome to look around. i'm not sure what i'll come up with or how often - whenever i come up with something new, different and/or entertaining that i feel like passing on.

The Rabid Dogs may show up here in some form, you can get a better look on the other pages around here. This space could go anywhere.

When i get some images collected, i'll set some galleries up for varied interests...

There are archives - if there is something here that you will want to find again, hit the permalink and bookmark that page.

the lists are started, but not finished.
