Spiral Artwork

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.
