Terraserver is a website that has tons of detailed maps
and satellite photographs of North America. They have maps (detailed enough to see individual
houses and outbuildings) of 100% of the USA, and satellite photographs of 35% of the USA and a
bit of Canada. If you really want to know the significance of a particular image
below, ask me and I might tell you.
:)
British Columbia

British Columbia. That place up there in Canada, eh?
I've linked to three satellite photographs here... two of people's houses, and another
one of some random place of interest.

Washington

Washington. The state, not the capitol.
The possibilities for pictures from here are endless. I've included two
satellite photographs for now, but I'll probably add more later.

California

California... from beaches to mountains to deserts. I've included two
satellite pictures so far... both from the middle of nowhere. ;)
