The Bible according to Google Earth

I enjoy photography as much as the next person, but digital manipulation of photographic images seems somehow wrong to me. Unless, that is, the manipulation is merely a means to the end objective, Art. For example, these photos. I must admit, these particular 'photos' tickle my appreciation and enthusiasm!

And, I realize, a return to the topic of process as a means to the end objective, especially in the quest to create Art, is necessary.
