In the city of Ciudad Juarez , Mexico (just east of the Uffington White Horse) is this large type painted on the side of a mountain. The text reads “CD Juarez, La Biblia es la verdad. Leela.” which translates to “Ciuadad Juarez, The Bible is the truth. Read it.” The letters have to be repainted every couple of years to keep it legible and can be seen from nearby El Paso, Texas (more info).

CD Juarez, La Biblia es la verdad. Leela.

Tankers

Here’s a tanker being tugged off the coast of Mexico, there’s another one not too far off as well. Scarily, the first one (thumbnail #1) looks a little like it’s leaking… Here’s another off the coast of LA (captured alongside a plane too), and yet another near New York (thumbnail #2).

Tankers are cool, they’re so big that you can actually see them clearly all the way out at zoom level six!

Thanks to Jason and Adam Williams.

The bullfighting stadium in Playa Tijuana, Mexico. Just to the north of it is the US border fence which stretches across the beach into the ocean.

Rick Vincent sent us what he describes as ‘The White Snake of Baja‘. Looks like a river, but it is HUGE. You can still see it all the way out here!
