The world’s largest natural bridge. The surrounding landscape is very surreal, it all looks like it is sculpted out of play dough.
Thanks Jeff Reynolds.
Sivash is the shallow system of lagoons that separates Crimea from mainland Ukraine. Home to large-scale salt deposits, Sivash may just contain the most colourful waters to be found in Google Maps, with ponds of blue, beige and organe readily visible.

Lesotho is one of the most unique countries on the planet. It’s the southernmost landlocked country, the largest country that’s entirely surrounded by another country, and the highest country on Earth. Yet, it doesn’t really show up on too many people’s radar. With the arrival of Google Street View imagery this month to Lesotho, it’s time to shed some light on the world’s largest enclave.

Why visit the world for real?
Actually, Rainbow Bridge is in Utah – just barely, but in Utah, not Arizona.
Nice blog, tho!
Thanks random duck! Can you tell we aren’t American?

I gotta say, so far, Utah (and surrounding area) seems to have the best visuals. Panning around after looking at the bridge, I found this area / Google Earth.. very beautiful. Look at the swirl in the water.
This bridge looks like E.T.’s finger,doesn’t it?
look northeast of the natural bridge, there’s something man made in there… what the hell?
sorry, I meant northwest. It’s been a long day.
It’s still a heck of a long way to K-Mart once you get to the other side. Still, what an amazing shot!
Thanks for sharing it!

That manmade structure is a boat dock managed by the National Park Service. Rainbow Bridge is a Navajo holy site, but thousands of visitors visit via boat from Glen Canyon Recreational area and Lake Powell. There are signs that ask you to not go under the bridge, but most visitors do. I, for one, could not do that. It would be like peeing in a church. Bad mojo. Some of the team members on the American Frontiers Public Lands journey (south team) decided to go under the bridge, but I elected to stay on the park side.
I have seen this landmark before, but never from this view! great shot!
