My jaw literally dropped when I saw this picture. I think I'd flip out if I were swimming this close to a whale. But this image, taken by Peter G. Allinson, M.D., is called "The Best of Friends" so I imagine that the man and the whale got along swimmingly (pun intended).

Madrid's Prado Museum has long been home to a wide range of artistic masterpieces and is a must-see for anyone who happens to find themselves in its vicinity. When I studied in Madrid, I visited the Prado on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis! But now you don't have to travel to Spain to appreciate the museum's most famous paintings. The Independent reports on how the Prado has teamed up with Google Earth to create a project that allows users to zoom in on select masterpieces that have been photographed section by section in "mega high resolution" then stitched together digitally. Though this viewing process is hardly as electrifying as looking at the paintings in person, the high resolution of the images allows people to zero in on the most intricate details, which is impossible to do when faced with the paintings in real life.

"It's a unique vision. In the museum we cannot get this close to a painting; if we did we'd need a three-metre-high ladder to get these views," says Google Spain's Clara Ribera.
