These are the Sails of the South, found beside the M275 near Portsmouth, England. Unveiled in March 2001 as part of the Gateway Project regeneration scheme, it represents a masted tri-sail in homage to Portsmouth’s maritime heritage.

Er, a bit like the Spinnaker Tower in, um… Portsmouth then?

Just to the south you can see the Tipner Bridge which received refurbishment as part of the same project - there’s several masts on it which light up at night, just like the sails do. And there’s a submarine here too!

Thanks to Dee.

Unfortunately we missed posting this giant iPod sighted in Australia last week - but we don’t mind as it seems that most of the rest of the net was taken in by the stupidly obvious April Fool that was doing the rounds alongside the link.

However, to prove that we’re always down with the kids, Google Sightseeing is proud to present… the very latest in cutting edge audio technology - The World’s Largest Record Player! Built by Technics to celebrate their 1 billionth pair of 1200s sold, this giant deck is fully-functional - it plays 6,000 inch vinyl at a speed of 0.01 RPM!

Thanks to Tggb3k, Yablo, infredible and Orion.
