Iceberg, Dead Ahead!
Some pretty spectacular icebergs here off the coast of Greenland. Some of the larger ones are at least 5 miles across.

Playground World Map
Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.
Here’s yet another world map on Google Maps, this time in what looks like a school playground, and for once the map is the right way up!
Thanks again to Kevin.
Gage Park Fair
This is Gage Park, Chicago, and it looks like the fair’s in town! I’m not sure what most of the rides are, but if you look very closely (or in Google Earth) you can make out the shadow of the ferris wheel at the very south of the plot.
Thanks to Kevin.
