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.
Was this person really not able to think of anything more noteworthy to write in the sand than ‘Sh*t Happens‘? Mind you, it got posted here I suppose…

I thought it was interesting that the maps didn’t show those as islands. I checked my 1981 wall map of Houston, and there is no indication of anything there past Morgan’s Point.
As that’s right next to the Houston Ship Channel, I suspect that’s a bunch of dredging output.
There’s lots of recrational boating on Galveston Bay, so it’s no doubt the timely work of drunken sailors.
I live in Houston, and I’m not entirely sure what this is. This is next to the Galveston/Kemah water line and ship channel (I actually submitted this boating line a few weeks ago for the blue tankers). My guess is someone got bored…
The map shows the upper part of this island, the part we’re concerned with may have been built up, or may be a sandbar… but how could someone write tha tin an underwater sandbar?
On an interesting note, there’s also what looks like a star over here… Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
Ah, Houston, my Houston. =)
