Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.

Props for this one go to Quentin and Peter Grabowsky, who both sent us this pretty darn huge message, which is apparently directed to the airmen flying in and out of Offutt AFB near Omaha, Nebraska.

This is an awful lot of fields… scroll around for a bit – there’s thousands! And from all the way up here, it looks like some sort of cool pixel-art.

Which might perhaps explain why the farmers chose Pac-Man as their new subject matter when they got bored of rectangles!

Square Fields

Thanks go to Seth for Pac-Man. Cheers mate, geek-tastic!

Oh, there’s also combination rectangles and circles, sent to us by Mik :-)

Big Surf water park is in the Phoenix metro area of Arizona and as you can see there’s a giant old school Pepsi logo in the pool.
