Anomalies
As I've mentioned before, gazing lovingly at Google Earth is something I do a lot. One thing I like is when the satellite images they use are pieced together and form some sort of weird perspective anomalies. Here's three of them that I found while looking at Chicago last night (click the images for full size):
I also enjoyed this one, with the two images taken at different times of year: west of the train tracks, the trees are all bare, while the east side is lovely and summery.
And, slightly off topic, but it popped into my head when I was typing the word at the top of this entry; if you're stuck for a good book to read, I thoroughly recommend "The Anomalies" by Joey Goebel.

I think most of these are aerial rather than satelite pics, as a satelite would never take photos at such an angle as to show the builds like that. If you do the napkin-maths (I did) then you're talking about a satelite with something like only an 800mm lens and a sensor of many hundreds of gigapixels in order to catch buildings at that angle at that resolution. I'll take my geek hat off now.
Good point. And, nice hat.
this word is haunting me at the moment - looks like a good book
