A 3D View of the World

I've found it very fascinating to use Microsoft's 3D Live Maps website to browse the world from a birds-eye perspective. Not every place is available but many are. Here are a few snapshots I took during my "travels":




Feel free to leave a comment, taking a guess where you think these places are!

I suspect the first one is Buck' Palace. You got me on the other two.

You are correct regarding #1!!! Let's see if anyone can figure out #2 and #3. :-)

Hey Rob,

Okay, #3 is the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and #2 looks to be somewhere in Flordia and I'll guess somewhere in Miami (by the swimming pools and sun shades it's probably a tourist spot).

Aw ... no Venice? :) I'll have to check it out!

Mark,

Aren't you the bright little game player!! You are correct on both counts!!

Image #2 is just a tad north of Miami's famous South Beach. And Image #3 can be found here in San Francisco.

Hey, I'm thinking that this could be turned into an online game of sorts. We should discuss it sometime!
