Beachcombing for New Imagery
August 12th, 2010 | Published in Google Earth
If you're anything like me, you can't get enough of beaches during the summer months. There are few activities as relaxing as sitting by the water, reading a book, and enjoying a cool beverage. This week's imagery update includes a number of great beaches, so if you live nearby, you may want to go soak up some sun. Just remember to bring your sunscreen!
Chicago, Illinois beach
Goa, India beach
Atlantida, Uruguay beach
Of course, it's only summer in the Northern Hemisphere, so be sure to put Uruguay on your list for future travel rather than flying over there now!
