In Google Earth, it is possible to see rather strange things. Even if the satellite image quality is not always good (which isn’t bad at the end of the day), many travelers share their “visions” from space point of view.
After some clicks, I found this sharing site: Google Sightseeing.

Arranged by geographical area, the pictures are linked up with the online GE interface for a quick look, you can also use the geographical co-ordinates and put them directly in the GE software interface on your computer, in order to see the surroundings area and keep track of your favorites.

But these pictures are short lived, the next pass of the satelite injected by Google will erase them.

A little travel from home, to some extent.
