On the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine there’s giant cogs! They were left over parts from the world’s largest clock, which spanned 600m across the coast and was used by scientists in Mir space station to tell the time. Honest. It’s not a hotel. That would be silly.

Square Circle, Saudi Arabia

Here in Saudi Arabia, there’s a large square with a smaller circle inside it. Um… yeah, I really don’t know what this place is!

It’s just outside of a small town, and the square is about 500 metres across, defined by walled(?) areas which sometimes contain small buildings. Some sort of compound? An empty and organised shanty town? A very tidy dump?

But the weirdest thing is course, is the totally bizarre colour scheme. Whaddup with that?

Thanks to Uri.
