Imagery Update: Week of June 11th
June 11, 2012
Although it's now June, and officially summer recess and vacation time, the
Google Earth
and
Maps
Imagery Team hasn’t taken any breaks from publishing loads of fresh, high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery. In this post, we’ll focus on newly-published satellite imagery of fun places to visit across the globe.
Our first satellite imagery example is the
Donbass
Arena and grounds in Donetsk, Ukraine. The stadium was built in 2009 and is participating in the
UEFA EURO 2012 Football Championship
, hosting it’s first Group D stage game today, between France and England.

Our next example is a satellite image acquired in January of the
Bahá'í House of Worship
, more commonly known as the Lotus Temple, in New Delhi, India. The building and grounds serve as the mother temple of the Indian Subcontinent and is one of the most visited structures in the world, attracting more than 4 million people annually.

Finally, we’ll swing over to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the
Plaza De Mayo
, which we can see below in a satellite image from February. The Plaza is lined by current and historical buildings and landmarks of all the power centers of Argentina, including structures of the executive government branch, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the financial district.
