It depends on how recent you want them. You can very high detailed pictures (10 to 1/2 meter resolution) of most major cities in the world between 5 months and 5 years of age from google earth.\n\nhttp://earth.google.com/\n\nYou can get multiple recent (weeks to months in age) photos at up to 250 meter resolution of recent phenonima like huricanes, vocanoes, dust storms and fires from NASA's World Wind.\n\nhttp://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/\n\nLastly you can get full north america satitight photos for weather use that are updated hourly.\n\nhttp://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/satellite/index_e.html\n\n\nThoes are the best options that I know of avalible for free.

http://www.globexplorer.com/\nI like google earth but it is a big download, this one is free and I think better, unless you want to by the images.  It is however about three year old data.  But still very accurate.  I think it goes down to about 200 feet, I can actually see my car in my driveway at home, but mind you the pictures are about three years old

Flickr - has some good stuff. Most of it is free if you ask the people taking the shots. I have used some photos from that site int he past and they have worked great.

This site has up-to-date release-quality photos (ie. not raw data, just the images that are good enough for a regular person to want to look at) from the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity):\n\nhttp://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/mer/

There is no enough sattellites in the constelation to have live images of all world... may be you have seen many Wollywood pictures. The sattellites have one defined path, and if someone wants a picture of any place... any city, a volcano, a forest, etc... you must pay to spaceimaging (Ikonos 1m images), digital globle (Quickbird images) or another company like that.\n\nAnd they will check it the have pictures stored prevously (sold cheaper) and if they have not they will program one of their sattellites to picture your AOI (Area of interest).\n\nSo the price will be espensive \n\nhttp://www.spaceimaging.com/gallery/\nhttp://www.digitalglobe.com/\n\nhttp://www.digitalglobe.com/downloads/QuickBird%20Imagery%20Products%20-%20Ordering%20Process.pdf\n\nGood luck

Well if you're looking for good high-resolution pictures, go to stock photo sites that are free; such as www.sxc.hu (you do have to sign up though, but it's free)

I would check out google earth.  I think they have a free version, and also a pay version that might be better.
