Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
There’s some really cool Spiral artwork on a farmland near Snells Beach, New Zealand. The 80m wide artwork represents a Koru and is made of clay covered in grass. A recent New Zealand Herald article has more about the piece and how some Google Earth users tracked down the artist.

Is the NZHerald generally slow (possibly because it’s on the other side of the world), or is it us “googlesightseeingdotting” it?
LOL.
It’s loading OK for me, but I really hope it’s been googlesightseeingdotted.
LOLROFL, brilliant nandhp, consider the term ‘googlesightseeingdotting’ officially part of our lexicon
Has anyone found Spiral Jetty in Utah?
The Spiral Jetty is just in low res…you can see it on terraserver, but not Google Maps yet
