Why is Morón Air Base hidden, when no other airbase in Spain is? :tinfoil:

It's not hidden on Bing. Yet anyway.

This bing bird's eye stuff is really neat. Especially that you can change the orientation of the view, and all that. I can't wait till they fly over Dubai again and we get a nice new view of the Burj Khalifa, it's going to look great.

I always liked that image on google maps of Dubai dumping raw sewage into the desert sand myself. I think if I check back in another year or so it will just be a massive poo poo river running into the Gulf of Oman.

I once found a graveyard of giant dead cargo ships north of Chernobyl. Wish I knew how to get back to it.

I found a small graveyard of ships just south of Chernobyl but that's about it. I'm assuming that these were some irradiated ships they used for transport to/from the plant.

This is exactly the thread I needed. When I was flying into San Francisco this summer, I spotted these brightly colored fields. What the hell am I looking at? Algae farms?

I still can't figure out what these little pits on Attu Island are about. If you scroll up a little, you can see hundreds of them scattered everywhere. I googled the island for a bit and can only conclude that they were maybe made by the Japanese before the Battle of Attu during WWII. Storage pits, foxholes maybe?
