It really is amazing how these satellite photos are precisely spliced together.

What you've got here is a very special giant clock. They make 2 shadows to show you what the real, analog time is... That is saying 10 to 3. Unfortuantly, pilots get confused when flying over it in odd directions... It’s all wrong.

I don't see it, unless it's straight up... Maybe the same thing happened here as what happened with the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas in Google Earth. Erm, does the tower even appear in the photo?

Well, first of all, I'm pretty sure Google doesn't process its own imagery, but whatever. There definitely seems to be a cutline there (note the varying shades of green), and they probably ran the cutline through the tower on purpose in order to avoid having a cut-off shadow coming out of nothing, which would look worse. Presumably they didn't have enough overlap between the two source images to eliminate one of the shadows.
