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.
Somebody must have committed a major crime, as it would appear the Brighton and Hove arm of the Sussex constabulary have been dusting for prints around Hove Park, and uncovered what is clearly the the world’s largest fingerprint!
This fingerprint measures around 38 metres, which suggests that this criminal’s size would make it slightly difficult for them to hide very effectively, right?
More information on the fingerprint.
Thanks to the eagle-eyed Anthony Houghton.

So thats where John Darwin has been lost for the last five years, not in Panama!!!
Is it just me or does the Brighton imagery seem very high definition and especially zingy*?
*zingy is a technical term that only Professors of Googology like me understand.
I honestly cannot think what that is =[
This is really neat!
I have to try this maze one day.
The ‘Fingermaze’ was created by Chris Drury. It was created by putting Yorkstone into limemortar in a Cretan labyrinth, an ancient symbol representing renewal, which Chris has allied to the patterns of our fingerprints. The sculpture also represents the significance in our connection to the earth through touch.
