Google Sightseeing is an index of interesting sites (sights?) around the world, as seen by the satellites that Google Maps uses. For example, places like The Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, or the St. Louis Arch.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that the site is running WordPress?

Monument from our very own hometown of Enterprise, Alabama. The only monument in the world dedicated to a bug, need I remind you.

There’s now a British version of Google Sightseeing (www.googlesightseeing.co.uk).
