Innovative, made me smile, too, but actually it's rather amazing, isn't it?

Yes it is amazing what they can do.
But, at least they did not do a test run down my street this time.

The dunes, the camel and the man make a great picture, but the close up with the camel makes the whole quite anachronistic.

It is amazing! I've been touring European places via Google Earth, which I downloaded when I was going to USVI. It didn't really show me the Virigin Islands, but it's been fun looking at places I know I'll never see in my life time. So cool to see the desert like this!

anneliese, I had to look up the word, anachronistic. And I agree with you.
Many years my cousin from the mountains of Norway where there were elks roaming his back yard, came to visit us here in Silicon Valley. He had gotten an ATM card for the first time. He saw an ATM in our local drug store, and asked how it worked, and I explained all about it. I asked if he wanted to get some money, and he said "no".
He had been transported from elk to ATM in 24 hours and did not know anything that had happen between the two.
He went back to Norway and took computer classes, he has set up a fantastic geneology (sp) site with hundreds of names and a lot of photos.
