A new perspective!


Now isnt this amazing...technology never seems to stop amazing me. The picture is of India Gate, a war memorial built in Delhi for the soldiers who died in World War I.

With satellites in public domain having sensor system that can provide 1 m to 2.5 m resolution, one can see this planet of ours with a completely new perspective.

The picture has been taken using Google Earth (Keyhole 2 Pro once upon a time) . Currently in Beta stage, it uses a multi-terabyte database of mapping information and images collected from satellites and airplanes. The app demands a really smooth internet connection and a good 3 - D Card, so I can say goodbye to using it from home :( ...might load a few more pics, especially since blogspot has started providing space for pictures (and I dont need to hotlink pics like the one in a previous post).
