Default Google Earth 3 inch/pixel resolution images

Fans of Google Earth will be interested to learn that high resolution images
are being introduced. Take a look at downtown Las Vegas. You can see
people on the golf course greens and around the swimming pools.

It is an interesting composition of images. A close look reveals that
it must have been shot from a fairly low flying aircraft with a wider
angle lens and then cleverly composited. Look at the casinos on the
strip--some are visually tilted one direction and some the other.



Used to be that "What happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegas".. Now it gets
posted on Google. in extraordinary detail! :-)
