Ian Brown at Google Sightseeing recently posted a great blog entry that took a look at the ten tallest statues in the world. Most of the statues are of Buddha or Guanyin, many located in China.
While Ian shows great aerial and Street View imagery for each of them, most of them can be viewed in 3D. The quality of the 3D models varies wildly from statue to statue, but some look pretty nice as seen here:
It’s a fun subject to look at, and Ian makes it easy to find them yourself by providing this KML file
so that you can quickly fly to each of them in Google Earth.
Be sure check out the full post to see more.
Great post, Ian!
