All of a sudden there’s an absolutely enormous Firefox Logo Crop Circle carved into this field in Oregon, where previously there was nothing! Are aliens telling us their browser preferences? Or has Internet Explorer finally been eradicated from the Internet?

In fact this 67 metre wide icon was created by the Oregon State University Linux Users Group to celebrate the launch of Firefox version 2, and to the south of the logo you can see that they’ve also arranged their vehicles spell out “FX2“.

You can read more about the project at the Oregon State University site, and congratulations to Jon Hicks - who is now the designer of the world’s largest application icon!

Just to the West of the Swiss town of Morges we find the biggest Swiss flag in the world (probably). It’s about 80 metres square and has been painted on a roof.

Out faithful reader ChrisW (who suggested this sight) very kindly offered to head down and investigate what goes on at the giant flag building. So he went cycling 25km out of his way to snap this shot of the disappointingly dull “Friderici Transports” - a logistics company.

Many Thanks: ChrisW & HeatherW

Here on Tenerife there’s an absolutely gigantic shape on the landscape, which looks very like a B2 Stealth Bomber. Just a coincidental arrangement of images, or the accidental discovery of a super-secret B2 Invisibility Cloak?

You’ve all seen the original Google Sightseeing Topless Sunbather already, but did you know that the Hague is in fact completely overrun with naked and semi-naked Dutch men and women? Yes people, it’s time to get your magnifying glasses out, because here comes the Top 10 Naked People on Google Earth!

10) The one that got so many people so hot under the collar. Many people think she’s on her front, but personally I remain unconvinced.

9) Very close to the original topless sunbather, this one is definitely female, I think. It looks like she’s lying on her front, and she does appear to have some kind of top on, so keep your hair on people!

8 ) Just six doors down, here’s a half-naked Dutch, person. Wearing a sarong perhaps?

7) This ones been widely discussed on other sites, but I personally reckon this is a guy, wearing shorts. Phew!

6) This person thinks they have privacy on this rooftop (haven’t they seen Enemy of the State?), and they’re definitely topless! (Sex unknown of course, but topless nevertheless.)

5) Outside a café on the beach (presumably before it opened that day), we find someone sitting calmly in a chair, blissfully unaware the whole world can now see them in their birthday suit.

4) The previous nudist may have also been unaware that just on the other side of the building, there was another person sunning themselves - flat on their back and completely in the altogether! Does anyone know someone that works in this café by the way?

3) Again on the beach, here’s a couple of naked people who think they can hide behind a wind-break! Pah! Don’t they know there is no escape?

2) Hiding away behind some bushes is no escape either… Mind you, I wish that person would keep their legs together. Yeuch!

1?) Well, do you know of a better one? I’m sure there’s loads more brilliant ones yet to be found, so get searching! Post a comment with your find then I’ll add the best ones here.

Thanks to the Keyhole Users.

Just in case you missed this when it did the rounds in October, here’s some hills in Canada which seem to resemble… well, I’d be hard pushed not to admit that this does look an awful lot like a Native American, listening to an iPod.

Thanks to all our submitters, and especially the original finder - supergranny.

At the Memphis-Days Inn At Graceland there’s a big blue guitar (yes, of course it’s a pool - here’s ground-level shots).

And all the way over in Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia, there’s the Big Golden Guitar, which is exactly that - a big gold guitar. There’s a ground-level picture on the official site of the Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre, which is the location for Australia’s Tamworth Country Music Festival.

You can see previously-featured guitars here at Google Sightseeing, and I recently read about a huge piano-shaped pool in Florida… Can anyone find it?

Thanks to Mary and our resident Australian expert, woowoowoo.

It’s two stadiums in one! While looking at the most recent Imagery update for Google Earth on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, I was trying to match up the older Google Maps images with the newer Google Earth images.

I thought that a large landmark such as the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu would make lining up the images easy, but I was very confused that there’s two completely different stadiums on the same spot - on Google Maps image is of an American Football stadium, whereas the new Google Earth Imagery shows a Baseball diamond.

The stadium has four movable sections, each 3.5 million pounds, which rotate to form two entirely different stadiums. Not for long though as in 2007 the transformer stadium will be permanently locked into American Football mode. More information on Wikipedia.

There’s been another image update to Google Earth, as announced by PenguinOpus on the Google Earth forums. The updated areas are:

• 12 high-resolution cities in Germany (Bayreuth, Bochum, Castrop-Rauxel, Fulda, Hof, Mannheim, Marburg, Potsdam, Schweinfurt, Siegen, Unna Froendenberg, Wuerzburg)
• 6 high-resolution regions in the UK (Bridgend, Cleveland, Dundee, Plymouth, Poole, Rochford)
• 31 city updates from Digital Globe
• entire island of Oahu
• Imagery from individual cities/counties: Grants Pass, OR; City of Kent, WA; Salem, OR; Douglas County, WA; Hartford County, MD; Jackson County, OR; Summit County, OR;
• Expanded/updated coverage for the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Indiana, and Florida
• Darfur
• 66 Islands
• improved SF/Bay area water

Unfortunately, the imagery update has not yet made its way into Google Maps, but I’m sure it won’t be too long until the two are in sync again.
