Check out: http://www.californiacoastline.org

It is the mother of all photographic panoramas -- a continuous sequence of
10,000 aerial photos imaging the entire California coast from Oregon to
Mexico. It is intended to be a "visual baseline" for scientific and other
purposes, but it is also one heck of a wonderful site to browse -- you can
see aerial panoramas of lots of cool things from the Golden Gate Bridge to
Cape Mendocino, Pt. Reyes, Pt. Sur and the Queen Mary. You can enter
lat/long coordinates, look up a geographic name, or simply click on any one
of several maps.  Best of all, now that it is set up, they intend to keep
the site updated. This means the site will just get more cool with the
ability to reach back in time.

Now, if you could do a similar visual panorama anywhere on the planet, where
would you choose?

Best
