Philipp Lenssen a couple days ago reported Super-Close Google Maps Zooms which got many people saying wow! Philipp discovered that these high-resolution images of camels, people, swimming pools and beach goers was actually from featured content in Google Earth, visible through Google Maps via hacked URLs. Google Sightseeing has a nice explanation of how these images are from Google’s Australian fly over and from National Geographic partnership with Google.
