The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is Gaudi’s masterpiece which he started in 1884. It is still under construction and work is expected to be completed around 2024.

Look for the shadow to make out the shape of the towers and see the official site for great ground level shots.

Randomly written on the side of a hill in spain is the word “BAR“. Perhaps there’s a good pub there? Maybe someone called “Bar” flies a gyrocopter around there (like a spanish Dave)? Who knows!

The BMW world headquarters in Munich, Germany is the ‘four-cylinder’ building (which was built top-down), while the famous logo is atop the BMW museum.

Over in South Carolina is BMW’s North American home. The rather-cool crescent moon shaped building is the BMW Zentrum, the only BMW museum in North America, and sits next to the only BMW manufacturing facility in the United States.

The factory exclusively builds the Z4 roadsters and X5 sports activity vehicles which are then distibuted worldwide via the Port of Brunswick. You can clearly see the hundreds of Beemers waiting to be shipped out.

The French Grand Prix will be running this weekend at Magny-Cours Formula 1 track and fans are hoping that a few more cars will race than the debacle last month at Indianapolis.

There’s no cars on the track in the Magny-Cours satellite photo but there’s some good large type all around the course.

Thanks: David Patrick & Sean

Just a quick heads up to let you know that I’ve updated the FAQ page. You can now learn how to find the moved ’satellite’ link, use the “z” variable to set a specific zoom level, and also how to search for a specific latitude and longitude.

Any suggestions or corrections, please leave in the comments thread of this post, thanks!
