On the subjectof ratings – I personally find all planes, trains and boat sightings the most uninteresting, but equally a great structure or a unidentified group of individuals draws my attention. I can’t draw myself to click-through the transport stuff. But something Southern European would be due soon guys…

@julian: Let’s face it, everybody can go outside, form a circle, and wait until a satellite passes over ( Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth )

Whether they can build a bridge over the Great Belt, is a different question.

@Timhog: check the map view (not the hybrid) – it shows the route of the tunnel!

@koen: suspension bridges (particularly those with lightweight, aerodynamic decks) are often considered unsuitable for carrying rail traffic due to the uneven weight distribution when a train crosses.

@ Timhog:

I’m guessing this is it:

I wonder why the rail couldn’t be combined with this bridge…

OK, but I’ll find you a hundred bridges for every hand-holding circle of religious nuts that you find for me. That’s what makes it a more interesting sight.

How can a bunch of churchgoers in a run-down neighbourhood of Fake Vegas compare to one of the greatest technological achievements of mankind in our time? There, I’ve said it.

It’s interesting seeing how people rate the different sights on here. A strange circle of people followed by some bridges. Personally, while the facts about the bridges are slightly interesting, I don’t consider it nearly as good a find as a big circle of people. Yet they both have about the same rating. While I concede that is is all personal preference and everyone has a right to their own opinion… I can’t help thinking that anyone who rated the bridges the same or better than the circle of people is wrong! There. I’ve said it.

Maybe I’m just not being persistent today – but where does the rail tunnel emerge?

Excellent radial farming pattern/ massive dart board just to the east of the big rubber band (which actually looks more like a washer or a gasket……….perhaps from the worlds biggest washing machine?)

Ben: Crop circle…or…world’s largest rubber band?!!
