Here is something that I find interesting, much of Connecticut in Google Earth is now available in 3D too.

I wonder if they will update the graphics every once in a while, that would make this an interesting tool for keeping track of construction projects too.

I also wonder if these 3D graphics can be imported into a flight simulator, that would definitely enhance the flying experience.

A few shots of Stamford:







A few of Greenwich:

I think Google Earth is interesting for many other reasons. I have to ask, why are you so fascinated with construction sites and buildings?? Are you an Architect or Contractor?

I almost studied Architecture, but in the end opted for something else. Its definitely in the blood, as I like to say. My father is a Civil Engineer by profession, so you can see where the likeness for buildings and bridges comes from. lol

I like buildings, some of them, at least. I don't much care much for bridges, but I appreciate them.

I'd love to have become a very hands on architectural historian, but life got in the way. Stuff happens.
