After some yellow planes, here’s some giant yellow people, which looks like a huge ‘children crossing’ sign painted in a school courtyard in Paris.

Thanks to DDA.

These yellow planes parked in France are aerial water bombers, used to fight forest fires. They are commonly known as “Canadair” planes, after the company who manufactured them (although Canadair has been bought out by Bombardier Aerospace).

The planes skim along a lake or reservoir as shallow as two metres to collect over 5,000 litres in just 12 seconds. They then drop the water over the forest fire either all in one or as a sustained shower. Here’s a photo of one such plane in action.

Stunning architecture here at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California. Designed by architect Richard Meier and opened in 1997, the building is the current home of the J. Paul Getty Museum which exists to collect and exhibit classical and European works of art. The complex has a seven-story-deep underground parking garage with over 2,000 parking spaces, and while the museum itelf is free to visit, the parking costs 7 dollars…

To get a better taste of the collection you could visit the official site, and for ground-level photographs check out the Wikipedia page.

Giant writing in Mexico: “PROMESAS“. Using my excellent Spanish skills I translated this to “Promises”, although who’s promising who what I can’t tell you.

At a capacity of 91,665 FedEx Field is the largest stadium in the NFL. This explains the VAST amounts of parking around the stadium, there’s even helicopter parking.
