Google Earth

[low_delta]

Have you seen this program? If not, download it (if you can - not for Macs, yet). It's amazing what detail they show in their satellite views. But the real kicker is that it shows the terrain in 3d. You can zoom around in the mountains. Or turn the 3d buildings on and zoom around Manhattan. I retraced most of where we went on our trip in Novemeber. I traced the whole way from LAX to the top of Mt. Wilson. It was pretty wild to learn what was just over the ridge from where we were.

Just for kicks, here are some images I took from Google Earth, alongside pictures I took when I was there.
