Google announces the winner of their "Model Your Town" competition
Back in December, we told you about Google's first-ever "Model Your Town" competition. Today they've announced the winner.
The winning town is Barranco - Lima, Peru! Jorge de Albertis Bettocchi modeled the Barranco district of Lima and took home the prize. We featured his work late last year, and it's certainly worthy of winning this competition.
For more about Barranco, you can view the model in the 3D warehouse, read Jorge's blog, read the full article on Google's Lat Long Blog, or watch this short video:

The streets are all Traditional, Home of Artist and Poets, all who visit, live in memory of seeing it again, is a Magical City that envelops you with its majestic traditional houses....
