In the city of Ciudad Juarez , Mexico (just east of the Uffington White Horse) is this large type painted on the side of a mountain. The text reads “CD Juarez, La Biblia es la verdad. Leela.” which translates to “Ciuadad Juarez, The Bible is the truth. Read it.” The letters have to be repainted every couple of years to keep it legible and can be seen from nearby El Paso, Texas (more info).

Apologies for the downtime today, we’ve been experiencing some er… difficulties with the server. We’re back now, but not quite up to speed, so you may find some issues with comments pages (amongst other things).

We’ll let you know when we’re back up and running properly. Sorry!

Update: We seem to be back on track. Normal service should resume shortly, thanks for your patience.

Just a quick heads-up to let anyone interested know that we’ve updated the FAQ page with a bit more information about how the zoom level works on Google Maps. Many thanks to Ryan Jonasson and gIMpSTa for the information. There’s also now a separate entry on how to make sure your link is set to the maximum zoom level.

Check out this cool Swing bridge caught mid-swing in Little Current, Ontario.

The 131 foot tall Edison Memorial Tower marks the original site of Thomas Alva Edison’s original labs in the Menlo Park section of what is now Edison Township in New Jersey, USA. The tower is topped by the world’s largest working lightbulb (ground level photos & more info).
