Atlanta’s Turner Field; home of the Braves, the 1996 Olympics and some very neat grass.

Jon Bell submitted this Mormon Temple in Bethesda. He said: “This thing always scared me growing up as my parents drove around the beltway”. Well it might be scary from the ground level but to me it looks like a giant Birthday Cake ;-)

This is the site of Black Rock City, which is built and torn down every year for the week long annual Burning Man festival.

Chach says:

Looks like this was flown shortly before the festival.. the street grid and intial construction of some core buildings is underway

This is an awful lot of fields… scroll around for a bit – there’s thousands! And from all the way up here, it looks like some sort of cool pixel-art.

Which might perhaps explain why the farmers chose Pac-Man as their new subject matter when they got bored of rectangles!

Square Fields

Thanks go to Seth for Pac-Man. Cheers mate, geek-tastic!

Oh, there’s also combination rectangles and circles, sent to us by Mik :-)

Dealey Plaza, Texas

The site of former U.S. President JFK’s assassination: Dealey Plaza, Texas. Caknuck (Thanks again!) breaks down the points of interest:

The grassy area in the middle of the image (where the one road forks into three) is Dealey Plaza. The group of trees directly to the right of the underpass is the infamous “Grassy Knoll”. The square beige at the center of the image is the Texas Schoolbook Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald was perched. Two buses are passing the Depository (now home to a museum dedicated to the event) on Elm St, and roughly correspond to the location of the President’s car each time he was shot.
