Wow, try zooming into Everest. It about jumps out of the page at you.

i can't believe i am just discovering how fun this site is! i am not sure how to save a picture of a certain area, but if you zoom in on Washington DC, notice how many buildings are fuzzy or covered up...the capital in particular is very fuzzy.

the capital in particular is very fuzzy.

That's just Google's idea of social commentary.

If you go to Tools>Options>View, you can adjust something called "Elevation Exaggeration." Setting it higher makes the terrain more dramatic. The highest setting is 3.

I recommend this mod.

Wahhhh, my Google Earth keeps giving me BSOD!

I think I hit on some known ATI graphics card conflict. Rats and ass.
