Reader ‘William’ found these two ‘parachute training towers‘ at Ft. Benning in Georgia. I did a few Google searches but couldn’t get a conclusive answer on what exactly these parachute training towers are or who uses them. I’m guessing they’re the army’s idea of base jumping?

Here’s a whole bunch of Chinook helicopters at Hunter Army Air Field just outside of Savannah, Georgia. The CH-47 Chinook has been flying since 1961 and its twin contra-rotating rotors and twin engines allow for massive lifting power (over 12,000 kilos) and speeds of up to 183 mph (Wikipedia entry).

The BMW world headquarters in Munich, Germany is the ‘four-cylinder’ building (which was built top-down), while the famous logo is atop the BMW museum.

Over in South Carolina is BMW’s North American home. The rather-cool crescent moon shaped building is the BMW Zentrum, the only BMW museum in North America, and sits next to the only BMW manufacturing facility in the United States.

The factory exclusively builds the Z4 roadsters and X5 sports activity vehicles which are then distibuted worldwide via the Port of Brunswick. You can clearly see the hundreds of Beemers waiting to be shipped out.

This is Augusta National Golf Course, site of The Masters. Our image here is of ‘Amen Corner’, at the very bottom centre is the 12th green just over Rae’s Creek. There’s a map of the course over at the official site, but bear in mind it’s the other way up from the satellite image!

And yes, we realise we missed the masters this year, but I wasn’t sure you lot could wait another 10 months!

‘Spaghetti Junction‘ is the intersection of I-85 and I-285 in Atlanta, GA. Thanks to Chris Martin, Brad and df.

Scary stuff. Codeman30 thinks that the intersection of I-75 and I-20 is scarier though…
