Is this Atlantis?

Is that criss cross of lines within a rectangle seen under the sea off of the coast of Africa Atlantis? Have a look for yourself at Google Ocean using coordinates 31 15' 15.53"N 24 15' 30.53"W. For more details you can read The Telegraph's article but do use my coordinates not theirs as their syntax is incorrect.

God's pliers?

I have previously remarked on the odd things you see on Google Maps and Google StreetView so these giant pliers sightings were right up my street (so to speak).

Either God was doing some DIY or someone left some pliers rather close to the Google StreetView camera on top of this car.


StreetView Fun has some more odd spots, with their number one unsurprisingly being this 'lady' in Homewood, Illinois looking for fame...And there's lot more of that type of shot elsewhere on StreetView Fun.

Amazeing!

I love Google Earth...


Thanks to Tuscan Tony for the spot.

A new way to while away some time

We all loved Google Earth and looked up where we lived and worked and were about to holiday. Now you can examine the heavens as well with Google Earth Sky Objects as Google Earth now allows you to view heavenly objects, including stars, constellations, galaxies, planets and the Earth's moon. To view these objects, click View > Switch to Sky or click. In Sky view the Earth is hidden and the 3D viewer presents a view of the sky. Even cuter the sky you see is the sky above the Earth location you were currently in when you swapped views. This is going to end all argument about what constellation is what and is that the Milky Way.
