As part of Google’s imagery release yesterday, they encouraged users to Tweet about neat locations that they found in the new imagery by using the #GEarthIMG hash tag. Here are some of the best that we’ve seen come through so far:
Historic planes in Sacramento
(from Spathiinc)
Sunken ship and pier
(from @Mpegg)
Turkmenistan’s "Door to Hell" (more info | from @gsightseeing)
A person feeding Sea Lions in Santa Cruz
(from Spathiinc)
If you find any other cool stuff in the new imagery, Tweet it out using the #GEarthIMG hash tag or simply leave a comment below and tell us about it.
