I have been really bad with this A to Z challenge, missing Days -Missing Alphabets but I just cant seem to do it correctly.
Anyway right how many of you have used or Have checked Google Earth.. I am sure we all have at some point done it , before I go on to the point that I think is funny let me tell you that It took a long .. long time to make.. they spent months and months photographing the roads.. Each road was photographed and then somehow they were all put together.
It is awesome .. and its fantastic.. I got very excited when I first saw the application , downloaded it all .. you go on to the computer and you grab the little man and drop him .. and it takes you to the road.
It is amazing..
and here is the fun part when it begins 🙂 so we switch on our highly sophisticated computer or laptop, sitting in our house .
You are thinking where can I go .. We can go any where in the world .. ANY WHERE .. The key word here is ANY WHERE ..
But what do we do, where do we all go on the first try..
OH YES
OUR OWN HOUSE (now tell me , how many of us did that.. I bet EVERYONE)
even though at that particular time, you are sitting in your own very house .. Inside the Room of your OWN very house..
It will be far easier to get up.. walk out and LOOK AT YOUR HOUSE .. a LIVE 3D image of your very own house 🙂
Anyhow not only that you will do all the dramatics to reach your house, go up and down the street instead of landing directly on your house.. you have to move around this way that way , Till you are right there ..
WHERE IS IT ..
oh yes THERE IT IS .. MY HOUSE ON GOOGLE EARTH awwwwwwwwwwww 🙂 I am so happy
Then you shout to someone in the house .. come and look come and look
awwwwww thats my car near my house .. then it suddenly dawns on you .. But that’s the green colour, I don’t have a green one .. I have a red one and mine is a Mitsubishi .. this looks like a BMW or a MERC..
Who was that in my house .. I don’t recognise the car, I want to know what time the picture was taken, who was that in the car Whose car is it .. was the person inside my house .. Or did they just park in front of the house ..
ahmm ahmm fishy fishy who – why – what could possible it mean 🙂 I leave you with your imagination now he he he he ..
So who all have tried Google Earth 🙂
I use Google Earth to look at home when I am doing some major missing! I feel more in touch 🙂

J here, of the #atozchallenge Arlee Bird’s A to Z Ambassador Team.
How has the first week of the challenge been for you so far? Are you meeting your goals of posting and hopping to other blogs? Looking forward to Sunday off?
My blog’s giveaways are still going! I’m encouraging everyone to visit more stops.
http://jlennidornerblog.what-are-they.com
Nope. My first visit was to the Eiffel Tower.
Okay, I was writing a story that takes place there and I was curious if something was one way or the other and thus I went to the map and saw this “super zoom” option.
But yeah, later I went to look at some of the places I’ve lived.
Not all roads have been done. A lot, but not all. Guess it’s a #fail for me.
