Firefox Logo
Crop circle art made in the shape of the iconic Firefox Logo near Portland, Oregon,

Man-Shaped Lake in Brazil
The Palm Islands of Dubai
The Palm Islands are artificial islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructure will be constructed. They are being constructed by Nakheel Properties, a property developer in the United Arab Emirates, who hired Belgian and Dutch dredging and marine contractor Jan De Nul and Van Oord, some of the world’s specialists in land reclamation. The islands are the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira.
Oprah Maze
She’s got a massive syndicated show and a magazine called O, and she was dubbed the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes. Why shouldn’t Oprah get her own corn maze? An Arizona farmer created this 2004 tribute to the TV talk-show host.
Iraq’s Bloody Lake
This blood-red lake outside Iraq’s Sadr City garnered a fair share of macabre speculation when it was noticed in 2007. One tipster told the tech blog Boing Boing that he was “told by a friend” that slaughterhouses in Iraq sometimes dump blood into canals. No one has offered an official explanation, but it’s more likely that the color comes from sewage, pollution or a water-treatment process.

All the pictures you share are very interesting. I like all of them. Photo of palm island is really very effective and cool. Google earth is most use function provided by google and there no any special OS recruitment to use them. But with Windows 7 and vista you can access all its different features.
nice post. thanks.
OH! Brilliant.. i like your post. thanks
Interesting, weird, brilliant…kind of a mix bag of thoughts about this one, but I liked it.
Good Post!
Awsome loved the heart shaped island and i <3 u
notice how the paleolithic horse and the indian head in alberta are orientated north, not just some random direction? think about it.
FYI: Google Earth pictures of New York and other major cities are sometimes gathered by low flying aircraft, rather than satellite. This produces the larger angles leading to the ‘Escher Effect’.
Some cool Gmaps here. Always a surprise if you look hard enough.
Who owns that guitar shaped mansion?
Pure awesomeness!
Waldo was Photoshopped. Look at his hand over the vent. If it was really painted on, you’d still see the vent. Other pics are really cool. I’d like to see the co-ordinates so I could zoom in closer.
Notice the description say Waldo was “built”, not “painted”. Also check out the post the image is linked to. I doubt it’s fake.
is it graphics??????????????
very great pics!
they’re all pretty cool ^^ but couldn’t some of them maybe, possibly, be fakes? Not all of them are, obviously.
great pictures Iraq’s Bloody Lake kind gives me the creeps I wonder what causes that.
I would say wonderful!!
I love the proposal. I wonder if it worked? How cool would that be!
Love these, I live in England and there are plenty of the Chalk type figures on hillsides, one quite graphic one if I can remember rightly.
I had fun trying to get pictures of Islandnet.com’s offices in Goldstream, Langford, Vancouver Island to appear on Google but I did it!

Good dispatch and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
Are pictures you share are very interesting
It is amazing we can get such interesting images from Google Maps alone. I wonder if there are more images like these images.
Hahaha most of them are fake, nice try though
Some of those are definitely photoshopped!
Thanks for sharing though, stumbled upon you!
also loud pics from khyber agency landi kotal then it will be better
Incredible things. Hard to believe, but at least I know few of these things do exist I am not commenting on the non existence of others.
awesome, simply awesome
Excellent – thanks for the advice.
Sorry for my bad english. Thank you so much for your good post. Your post helped me in my college assignment, If you can provide me more details please email me.
Oh my gosh! Some of those are simply amazing, a few I remember seeing in text books in school. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent photos for sure. Many of them are new to me and I guess it is the same for others too. I know some in this, like palm tree and guitar villa.
That is absolutely brilliant, I still done understand how this is possible. I like everything especially my favorite KFC.
I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time… however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual.
it is unbeliviable photos. especially iraq!s bloody lake. i wonder how it can be. they must give an explanation. thanks for that post
These are all excellent google pics, I especially like the first one. However, it doesn’t look accidental to me. It look like someone took some time to carve that out. Thanks.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I like this I like this blog!
Very nice, I like this blog!
thanks for sharing i love this idea and i will check everytime your post:)) see ya again in new post
thanks for sharing that post
I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.
thanks for sharing i love this idea and i will check everytime your post:))
see ya again in new post.wish you continued success
Reality or fake ?
