    A 3d fly-through using Google Earth of the Docks, river front and Old Harbour, the 3d is generated automatically from aerial photographs...

    That was really good, you get to see the water front of places you wouldn't normally see.

    Good find that. Really impressive even though it looks like something created by the Sims people. The theme from Paris, Texas would have been good accompaniment for some of the footage.

    On google maps, the images of the Estuary and river are photo-shopped to make them that cocoa brown. Other waterways are lighter coloured.
