Slightly unfortunate placement of the Google logo here, but you can still just about make out this large type on a building in Brooklyn, which says ‘BROOKYLN [HEART] U‘. Awww, isn’t that sweet?

We don’t know what this building is, but Will Carlough says he’s going to check it out for us. Thanks Will (Although I’m fairly sure someone in the comments will beat him to it)

There appear to be some serious alignment issues with the Clark Bridge, which connects Missouri and Illinois. I certainly wouldn’t fancy trying to cross it!

Evidently this bridge was the subject of some documentary sometime… Good shadows further down it though.

You don’t often see a river running under a river! This is the Welland Canal, a part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway which is the system of canals that permits ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes as far as Lake Superior. You can see the size of of the ships a little further South at the edge of Lake Erie (thumbnail #2), and there’s another to the North.

10 villages were submerged to allow the construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, and apparently a few remnants of sidewalks and building foundations can be still be seen under the water in some places!

This is the Jones Beach Tower, which was built in 1930, and was modelled on the campanile of St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice. It is 200 feet high, made of brick and stone, and houses a 315,000 gallon water tank for storage of water from four wells, each over 1,000 feet deep.

Update:

Wayne helpfully pointed out that I had actually shown a picture of the water tower at Robert Moses State park which is here:

Post updated, thanks Wayne

Amongst the Coral Reefs of the John Pennekamp State Park we can see an intentionally sunk 329 foot long military ship. Apparently two such ships, the Coast Guard Cutters DUANE and BIBB, were sunk here in 1987 with open hatchways and rooms for divers to freely explore. Scanning around the area I can only see this one ship – can anyone find the other?

Thanks: Sparky
