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

Here at Yarm School Teesside, England, the pupils are performing better than most in the schools league tables. They’ve also impressively managed to get themselves featured on GSS, by drawing a picture on the roof of one of their school’s buildings…

Congratulations kids, you’ve very likely created the only visible penis on Google Earth.

Update: Reader Evan found this awesome (and much larger and therefore better) penis drawn on the surface of a frozen pond in Connecticut!

Thanks to Matt and Evan.

Top 10 Naked People on Google Earth

You’ve all seen the original Google Sightseeing Topless Sunbather already, but did you know that the Hague is in fact completely overrun with naked and semi-naked Dutch men and women? Yes people, it’s time to get your magnifying glasses out, because here comes the Top 10 Naked People on Google Earth!

10) The one that got so many people so hot under the collar. Many people think she’s on her front, but personally I remain unconvinced.

9) Very close to the original topless sunbather, this one is definitely female, I think. It looks like she’s lying on her front, and she does appear to have some kind of top on, so keep your hair on people!

8 ) Just six doors down, here’s a half-naked Dutch, person. Wearing a sarong perhaps?

7) This ones been widely discussed on other sites, but I personally reckon this is a guy, wearing shorts. Phew!

6) This person thinks they have privacy on this rooftop (haven’t they seen Enemy of the State?), and they’re definitely topless! (Sex unknown of course, but topless nevertheless.)

5) Outside a café on the beach (presumably before it opened that day), we find someone sitting calmly in a chair, blissfully unaware the whole world can now see them in their birthday suit.

4) The previous nudist may have also been unaware that just on the other side of the building, there was another person sunning themselves – flat on their back and completely in the altogether! Does anyone know someone that works in this café by the way?

3) Again on the beach, here’s a couple of naked people who think they can hide behind a wind-break! Pah! Don’t they know there is no escape?

2) Hiding away behind some bushes is no escape either… Mind you, I wish that person would keep their legs together. Yeuch!

1?) Well, do you know of a better one? I’m sure there’s loads more brilliant ones yet to be found, so get searching! Post a comment with your find then I’ll add the best ones here.

Thanks to the Keyhole Users.

Topless Sunbathing

Imagine having a quiet afternoon’s topless sunbathing on your private, secluded, back patio – and then one day discovering that your nearly naked body has been posted all over the Internet!

Whilst this isn’t the first time someone has been caught with their kit off in Google Earth, to my eye, it seems that what little clothes are actually being worn, are… ahem – the kind most commonly worn by the fairer sex, shall we say?

Thanks to Romanov.

Alien Crop Circles!

Here at Google Sightseeing one of the things people most often ask us to post, are your common-or-garden alien crop circles. Never liking to disappoint our readers, GGSS is proud to present… a whole slew of possibly alien crop circles!

You lucky people.

First up is this bizarre collection of lines and circles near Uckfield, East Sussex, England. At first I wondered if perhaps this was a chalk figure of some kind, but I couldn’t uncover anything, so… it must have been aliens!

Next, over to Italy for some sort of Biohazard warning symbol. This one is definitely drawn into the crops, but what are the aliens trying to tell us?

Finally, here in Billingly, South Yorkshire is the best crop circle we’ve ever seen on Google Local. Aliens. No doubt about it.

Hmmmm. Aliens who speak English… profanely. And I think the alien responsible might have been called “Eddie“…
