Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
You can all rest easy tonight; I’ve discovered peace on earth!
The first bit of peace is found in Watershed Park, a dense woodland near Redmond with trails for cycling, horse riding, etc. A local cyclist took this ground level photo.
There’s twice as much peace in the back yard of Yates Mill Elementary School, although the larger of the two is a bit faded.

The weirdest and best of Google Earth is now available in the…
Here is one like those…
Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
Here’s one in Placemark: Buffalo, NY / Google Earth and another on a US Naval Air Base in Placemark: Rota, Spain / Google Earth.
Peace on Earth at a US Naval Air Base? Hrmm.
That one in Buffalo is perfect! Looks like there’s a mini-maze next to it too…
hah, sweet
Not far away from the Buffalo peace sign is a world map Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
The second one has a second peace sign just north of it, about 53 yards (49 meters) away
The first one is in Watershed Park in *Kirkland* Washington, not Redmond. That’s I-405 immediately east. (Used to live in that neighborhood…)
