Satellite images update infrequently enough to make manually checking for new photos of interesting locations impractical; automate the process with notifications from Follow Your World.

Courtesy of Google, the Follow Your World tool allows you to plug in locations and receive email updates when the satellite images for that location are updated. Whether you’re looking for crisp high-res images of monuments around the world or shots of your own backyard, it’s easy to set it up and wait for the updates to roll in.
