It looks like there’s a massive toxic bug in Yorkshire! Run for the hills!
On closer inspection I’d say that a massive toxic bug has been squashed on Yorkshire. Come back from the hills and help clean this mess up.
A previous bug in Google Earth was swiftly fixed by the development team. Perhaps I should file a bug report?
Thanks: Ben

intersting spiral structure(?) or hedge(?) nearby:

I think the spiral structure that Glenn mentions is a runaway lane for those too scared to enter the roundabout.
If it is, boy will they be surprised when they see it’s a dead end..
A nice piece of lint just to the east, also.

We actually posted those crop circles a while back. I wonder why no-one noticed the giant squished bug then?
Aaaaaah! Run for your lives!!!
Faded crop circle; I don’t think this one has been posted yet:

Cyre,
That was probably just somebody who shanked their ball pretty far off the neighboring golf course and then tried to find it — I wonder which is harder to find in a wheat field, a needle or a golf ball?
Personally, when I shank one that bad, I just let it go.
Wow this is about 10 minutes away from where I live. Might go and check it out some time!
