This is Jim and Linda Onan’s Gold Pyramid House in Wadsworth, Illinois. Yes, it really is a six-storey gold-plated pyramid in the middle of Illinois - and apparently it’s the world’s largest gold-plated object.

Near the entrance to the grounds you can also spot a 64-foot statue of Ramesses (not sure which one though), and just to the west of the main pyramid are three smaller pyramids, which join to form a three-car garage. Practical huh?

Thanks to Barry Scott, David Reeves and Seth.

Another great farm maze here, this one is west of Toronto in Canada. I’ve rotated the image in thumbnail so you can make it out. It shows a farm, with barn and silo and wee tractor pulling a trailer at the bottom. Cheekily, there is also a URL which I worked out to be www.downeysfarm.on.ca.
