The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum hosted both the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games and the Olympic torch, which resides at the east end, is still lit during football games. The Coliseum was also the site of the very first Super Bowl in January 1967.

Update: Thanks to Kate for the following info…

The swimming pool just to the south is, officially, the Los Angeles Swimming Stadium. Slightly north of the Coliseum is the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, and to the east of that is the Rose Garden (the carefully patterned garden area) and the California Science Center.

The airplane visible above the dirt area to the east (which is construction work) is part of the Los Angeles Aerospace Museum, and the big white dome-shaped thing to the south-east of the Coliseum is the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.

The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha stakes claim to a couple of “world’s largest” titles. The dome structure houses the world’s largest indoor desert as well as “Kingdoms of the Night”, the world’s largest nocturnal exhibit. The zoo also has the world’s second largest free-flight aviary. This zoo map is rotated 90° but should help you identify the various areas, including the “Elephant and Rhino” pen to the east. Do you think any of those pixels are an elephant?

A little to the west is the very colourful Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium which is the home of the College World Series. The 2005 College World Series runs June 17-27 and will be the tournament’s 59th year.

Here’s an absolutely fantastic image of what can only be described as swirly sands on Core Sound at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It seems that we’re looking at sand ridges under the water and the channels running through them. Wonderful picture, many thanks to Pat Suwalski
