Here’s the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, because it’s been a while since we had a bridge. Er, I mean tunnel… no, wait, two bridges! Or is that two tunnels?

Frick.

The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel is a combination of two bridges and two tunnels, connecting Hampton and Norfolk in Virginia (I think that’s right anyway, but perhaps the Wikipedia entry can clear it all up for you).

Anyway, it’s pretty cool - lots of cars on there coming in and out of either end (or is that either middle?).

Oh sod this. I give up.

Check out this weird section of image that woowoowoo found in North Korea. He said:

Somehow a whole chunk of data has inverted colours - taken into Photoshop and inverted, it looks much more correct.

In our first thumbnail you can see a section of the image as it appears on Google Maps, and our second image is the exact same image after the colours were inverted in Photoshop.

To celebrate the first Moon landing today (July 20th, 1969) Google have added some NASA moon imagery to the Google Maps interface and created Google Moon. Make sure you zoom right in for a hint at what the moon is really made of ;-)
