The 2002 design of the Heartland Country Corn Maze near Harrisburg was a coyote howling at the moon (with the letters USA in the lower right corner). This year they drew a 6.6 acre triceratops.

Sever’s Corn Maze in Shakopee (outside of Minneapolis) is an annual maze which is apparently the largest in the united states. The Google Maps photo was taken sometime in 2002-2003 when the maze depicted an upside-down map of the world, perhaps because opposite magnetic poles attract? (Maze homepage.)

On the Hawaiian island of Oahu is the Dole Pineapple Plantation where the former largest-in-the-world maze is to be found. The maze is designed to resemble a pineapple (although it is upside down to our view) and is made of 11,400 colourful Hawaii plants, including pineapples.

Edinburgh Zoo opened way back in 1913 and is probably most famous for the King Penguins, who have a daily “Penguin Parade” around their Penguin pool to the west, but for the thumbnail shot I’ve gone for the Darwin maze, which is shaped like a turtle.

I was browsing around for signs of life (very easy when you’ve been there hundres of times) and to the north there’s a couple of white splodges in the Zebra park, they could be Zebra?
