Flyby View of Mumbai’s Marine Drive
Saturday, June 16th, 2007I stumbled upon this Google Earth flyby video around Marine Drive in South Mumbai, and it instantly made me feel like going back for a visit.
MarineDrive.org is a website tracking the initiative to re-brand Mumbai’s Marine Drive, and calls upon citizens to contribute towards enhancing Mumbai’s most elegant boulevard. Marine Drive is also known as the Queen’s Necklace because if viewed at night from an elevated point anywhere along the drive, the street lights resemble a string of pearls. It is also the world’s largest viewing gallery and hence has been a host to a number of events that take place along the promenade.
Now, if only Google would soon update its imagery of Mumbai to get rid of those strange brown patches in the satellite grabs.
