My friend in Cairo, Hani Morsi, put me on to this site (http://earth.google.com/) You'll spend hours spinning the globe around looking for interesting places. If you live in a large enough city you should be able to even zoom in on your own house. Since I live in the sticks all I get is a blob.
But, here is a picture of Tienammen Square in Beijing. I was there in January. The view is from an apparent height of 2,714 feet. Every picture in the globe is taken by satellite or high altitude aircraft within the past three years.
