I just came across this rather fun use of Google Earth from Alan Levine. Look around your place and see if you can spell out your name by taking a series of screen grabs and putting them all together.
To do it find the images in Google Earth and take screen grabs (SHIFT APPLE 4). To put them all together I made duplicates of multiple use letters (Apple D), opened them up and did one long screen grab. Easy.
All the images were found within 5km of home base!
Very clever – looks like hours of fun. It could replace SSR as one of those beautifully engrossing activities 😉
Here’s another one too, I like the way each image links to the location.

A lot of fun. I’ll have to give it a go
Nicely done, and I like that simple technique for getting the image!
@Fiona- that was actually the site I found that inspired my blog post, the web is nicely circular.
Another neat way to do this is via GeoGreetings– http://www.geogreeting.com/
