This week’s cool site is called the Degree Confluence Project. From Confluence.org:

The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures and stories will then be posted here.

This is a link to 30°N 90°W confluence page. (Some of you may recognizes those coordinates.)

Sightseeing from Space

Posted 3 years, 6 months ago at 10:46 am. 0 comments

I recently ran across what I consider one of the most novel websites I have ever seen. The site is called Google Sightseeing. The site allows surfers to submit interesting satellite imagery that they may have come across while using Google’s new map service. For example some of the more intriguing sights include:

• Caterpillar Tractor Co. Proving grounds
• The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway
• The former World Trade Center Site

In addition to the imagery itself, the comments that are included below each post are usually pretty interesting as well.
