Google Earth: places I have loved

view from roof of sherborne abbey
sherborne from abbey roof
I have added getting on for a hundred pictures to the archive of Google Earth, and I'm just visible in a lot of them.
This is a selection of pictures that did or did not make it onto Google Earth, showing just how much fun it is investigating the world around you.
I'm told if I work hard at mathematics I might be able to add pictures to Google Moon and Google Mars.
**UPDATE**
Google had an argument with the pictures company and pulled the entire photos layer from Google earth. Thus, all my hard work (and all that lovely helpful data) has been lost.
