Imagery update: Japan and beyond
April 13, 2011
It was just
two weeks ago
that we announced new high resolution imagery of Sendai in support of on-going relief work. Today we’re announcing additional high resolution imagery of Japan, as well as other parts of the world.
Updated areas of Japan include Ishinomaki, Minamisanriku, Hitachi, Kamisu, and Chiba.

Also included in this update are images from around the globe. Below are a few of my favorite sights.
