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.
At the entrance to the Ocean Breeze water park in Virginia Beach, VA, stands a 30 foot gorilla wearing beach clothes and sunglasses. You can clearly see his shadow in this image, but you can also see a ground-level shot that shows off his fabulous attire if that isn’t good enough

Oops, thanks Phil! I read the wrong state-name…

Best viewed in Google Earth.
When are the Google Earth links going to start working again?
This gorilla figured in today’s Zippy the Pinhead comic (9/26/05). Interesting coincidence!
