Yeah, I thought the swimming pool would be too easy...

I had a look for Mount Rushmore earlier for the monument not in Washington, but I couldn't actually find it. I knew where it was supposed to be, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes...

 

[Joey D]

Its covered by clouds I think, because I just looked for it and it s a pretty cloudy day there.

 

[Event]

Okay then. Find me a Retractable Dome Stadium.

 

[Joey D]

Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX. Still being built but I know it can retract.

Mt. St. Helens

A ferris wheel

 

[cardude2004]

They don't let you zoom close to anything in Wisconsin. I guess there aren't enough people here to make a close-up satellite image worthwhile. I tried to look at Miller Park, but it was tiny on the satellite image. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Natio...82,-87.971907&spn=0.038405,0.059524&t=k&hl=en

[Joey D]

Space Needle



Next: A off road park or sand dunes they allow cars on.

Are we allowed to use satellite images from Terra Server too, because it stinks that I can't zoom in on any locations in Wisconsin.

Next: A car dealership with at least 10 cars on show outside

There's more than enough caryards in this shot.

Point of interest: My house is just off screen to the right. Really handy when I'm bored and feel like test driving a car just for the fun of it.

NEXT: A beach with people on it.

I think that's a person right in the middle of the shot...in Long Beach.

What do you think?

edit: Found Daytona beach now, don't think there's any doubt these are sunbathers...

[Ev0]

I had to resurrect this thread, because I just found this on collegehumor. Keep in mind this photo is of a US Navy base in Coronado, CA (just outside of San Diego).

This begs the question, who really won WWII?

Makes me wonder when it was built; the area's a little too geometrical and well-laid out to be designed before 1945...Hey! Meet me at the "Swas" at 1400 hours!
