These stunning views of some of the most renowned cities in the world shows how coronavirus has changed society.
Just a few weeks ago the view of Bondi Beach from above was speckled in dots or people. Now the pristine white gold sand is clear as day and not a speck can be seen. While in Melbourne the distinct lack of cars on the busy highways post COVID-19 shutdown are something we couldn't have imagined in February.
Images from Google Earth Pro give us a unique insight from space into how our lives have changed.
Before the virus we were everywhere, in parks, on beaches, traffic on the roads and planes at the airports. For now, we are all hiding in our homes.
In our gallery above you can see the difference in places like Bondi, Melbourne, Paris, New York, Cairns, Los Angeles and London.
