While vacationing in the OBX what better way to celebrate life than posting about a recent discovery about Google’s Ocean Project<\/a> and in the process finding this Men at Work song<\/a> that I hadn’t heard before — jazzy and reflective of the beach’s beauty and beyond.<\/p>\n

Down by the sea<\/strong>
\nI found your hidden treasure
\nJust you and me,
\nWe overdosed on pleasure…<\/p>\n

Imagine searching for directions to somewhere on Google Maps and looking at the street view so you’ll know what your destination will look like in real-time as you drive to it. Google’s Ocean Project<\/a> gives you this street view in the ocean — under the water. They are mapping the world’s oceans and I can’t think of anything more other-worldly, right here on earth and without having to travel far to find. Truly fascinating!<\/p>\n

When you go to the site, click on any map marker in the bottom left and it will take you to a 3-D panoramic view of that underwater spot. You can click on any thumbnail picture view and go there as well.<\/p>\n

Have fun searching and discovering a whole other word that most of us will rarely see in person. Here’s a magical spot in the Florida Keys, where I hope to visit someday in person.<\/p>\n
