It is really fascinating to realize how far we have come in technology. Nowadays you are able to see almost every single corner of the world within seconds. What used to be a cool feature in an 80s movie is now reality.

Google Earth, which started in 2004, is now a common aid used by millions of people. It gives us not only an amazing bird-eye view of our world, you can also explore places on the moon and mars.

However, in this picture series we would like to present you some really interesting places you can find yourself on Google. To view the world from above gives you a different perception from our home. Especially, these pictures will play with that effect. From naturally formed lips to a an artificial bat logo, there are amazing places for you to see, but only from above. Which one is your favorite? Can you recommend an interesting place to see from above? Drop us a line in the comment box below!
