Google Earth Architecture


NW corner of Bryant Park, 42nd St. and Sixth Ave., New York, NY

Here are some of the distorted designs that emerge when individual Google Earth photos -- taken at different angles by Google's massive fleet of surveillance satellites -- are patched together for display.  I noticed these along 42nd St.


Above: Trump World Tower (near the U.N.) near lower right corner, and around Rockefeller Center.  Below: 42nd St. and Fifth Ave.; building in lower left is the main branch of the New York Public Library
