Ever wonder what it would be like to see the world in a totally different way? Like a drawing of a building or a person? How about a map or some diagrams? Your new awareness is an amazing journey and the only requirement is that you visit these websites. From around the world, people have been taking pictures on their phones and posting them online, where they are turned into drawings by someone on another continent. You can then view these pictures in two-dimensional form, zoom into them, read captions about their stories and even trace your finger over them with Google Earth-esque software! Here are 37 of the best sites to learn something new: 1. World Famous Drawings World Famous Drawings was started in 1972 by Jim Dame, an entrepreneur who created his own company to showcase his drawings. He sent his scans to newspapers, magazines and other media outlets hoping to get them published in the hope that they would gain exposure. The project has since evolved into one of the largest collections of geographically located drawings in the world! The site has over 15 million images and 100,000 contributors. There are also two DVD's available with all their videos! You can also see scans of Jim's personal collection which include some great architectural photography. 2. World Map Pictures A relatively simple site (but still very cool) with pictures from around the world added by users. If you're looking for something specific, all you have to do is type it into the search box! 3. My Map Pictures A great site for all your map pictures, drawings and pictures that are "findable by location" needs. As the name suggests though, the pictures are only viewable on a map, so if you're looking for something more technological this might not be the place to look. To get started, you'll need to download the Google Earth software (which is available for free online, just search for it). Once you're installed, all you have to is enter the coordinates below in the "What's here" box and hit "enter." You can then use Google Earth's cool tools to explore your new friend! 4. Waterline World Like the name says, Waterline World is a collection of photos taken at sea level across continents and oceans all over the world. So far they've covered more than 150 locations with an ocean or ocean-like body of water nearby! You can also see daily tides so you'll know when it's best to go. 5. Virtual Tourist From one continent to another, Virtual Tourist is designed to help travelers see the world without doing much traveling at all! The site was created by two brothers who love to travel and wanted to share that experience with other people. It features hundreds of thousands of pictures that were taken by their contributors, which you can then use in their virtual tours. Each picture comes with a description and one of the site's many self-guided tours. 6. Street View Trekker Street View Trekker is a Google project that lets you take Google's normal street view photography and "explore the world like never before. cfa1e77820
