Christmas 3D Trees on Google Earth

Via the Google Earth twitter stream...

There are 3D Christmas trees at places like Trafalgar Square, and the Rockefeller Centre in New York

How many can you find ?

FrozenUK

Started a new Twitter stream yesterday to collate stories of the Big Freeze...

Follow @FrozenUK for the cold weather geographical digest... or add #FrozenUK to your tweets and I'll pick it up and add it when I get the chance...

There is more snow falling as I type this...

The Cartographer

Google maps, rather than Google Earth...


This looks very cool - thanks to Kenny for the tipoff...

UPDATE: Now works with Google Earth too :)
See comment below....

Ollie Bray and Paul Cornish

Two useful resources
First, OLLIE BRAY has produced a series of 4 posts on Google Earth 6 summarising the new features.


Paul Cornish has produced an excellent resource and framework for studying Crime with Google Earth

Google Earth 6

A new version of Google Earth was released recently: GOOGLE EARTH 6...
It includes millions of 3D trees, and other improvements, including better integration with Google Street View



Go to the AMAZON for example, and you can wander the jungle and explore some of the tree species in the rainforest... I'm sure we can come up with some ideas for using this in the geography classroom :)
