The latest Where on Google Earth image featured a gorgeous alluvial fan in the Zagros mountains of Iran. The Google Earth imagery does not show this fan in flood, but an ASTER image from a few years ago does.

I’d say see for yourself in Flash Earth, but unfortunately the imagery appears to be pretty poor quality for this area: http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=28.994958&lon=55.049338&z=8.5&r=0&src=nasa.
