OK, this disqualifies me but I don't give a fig. Check out freeze-frame planes landing at Logan Airport in Boston. Scroll to the south-east and north-west for the queue in the traffic pattern.

Cheslar Park, Canyonlands National Park, Utah. Where I was happily scraping snow off my tent yesterday morning while ignoring anything to do with royal weddings, funerals, impending deaths of Rover, or anything else that might have been occuring. :p

If you drag this one south a bit you can see the Washington Monument and it's shadow. It shows that the satellite was actually south of the monument when the pic was taken. Just a little interesting note...........

The Sandwich Islands

Re: google Maps competition
 

speaking of the google maps, here's a story about the fad if anyone's interested:

Surprises Lurk in Satellite Snaps -
For many years, Mike Leeds has been road-tripping from his home in Portland, Oregon, to Nevada's Black Rock Desert for the Burning Man arts festival.

So last week, when Google announced its new Maps service, which includes the ability to view and navigate with high-resolution satellite images, Leeds couldn't resist tracing his 500-mile route, one screen at a time, to see what he drives by on his annual round trip. He never expected that the last of his "45 miles to the click" route images would show, in great detail, the early setup of Burning Man. ...
