The car parks were only ever mentioned in the comments, and had never had their own post until now.

I too had recognised the Tower of Wind, but given that this is a far more interesting post than the original, I think we should let Ian off the hook!

When I read this post, I thought to myself “we’ve featured a similar thing before” but was convinced it couldn’t be the same as I’d never heard the “longest undersea tunnel” fact.

No worries about editing the post Ian, it was worth looking at again for the updated imagery and additional facts!

Here’s a streetview of one end of the tunnel: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
