Virtual travel using Google Earth


I should be painting, but, well, I got side-tracked. I've just downloaded Google Earth and have been low-altitude flying, slowly (hot-air balloon?) over New Zealand. Then I decided to fly to Australia and ended up at Lord Howe Island. I'm in heaven. I don't know why really, I just absolutely love to see our Earth from above.

  3. GB - Google Earth, combined with the tome "Earth From Above" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand = Bliss.
