EDIT: Next subject: Monument that's NOT in washington DC.

A little late in the thread but the mall you posted that is "bigger than the mall of america" actually is the mall of america. I live right near there and that is for sure the MOA.

OK then.
The next challenge is an easy one. Find a motocross track in Europe from the MX1 Calender.

Teutschenthal, Germany

I don't know if this exists in good resolution, but I would like to see part of the Great wall of China.

 

[Diego440]

I don't know if anyone has better luck, but according to the Panoramio buttons, the Great wall is here

Its a big long wall...lets see if anyone can find a higher resolution. If not, It will be your go next.

 

[turboash78]

I don't think there is a hi-res capture of the Great Wall... at least I couldn't find one.

 

[xjr-9]

I think that this might be it. Shall I do the next one? Find a castle in Spain.

Found in Madrid...



Find me a group of windmills... old Dutch style, or newer wind-power style.

 

[UnoMOTO]

This a wind farm just outside Palm Springs California. It's worth taking a look at because it's HUGE in scope. This is just a tiny portion.

Find me a pyramid not in Egypt.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Found in Las Vegas. This must count, eh?

Find me a submarine in the water.

 

[fatman_5050]

No limits on where, so here is the sub outside the Carnegie Science Center


Find me a geodesic dome.

 

[GT_Jim]

Here it is in Montreal:

no probs, you can choose another one if you want, since I can't think of any at the moment.

This one is very cool

How about finding a Hi res Ski resort.

 

[lmracer]

very neat UnoMOTO. right on the edge of oblivion!

 

[Speedster502]

Hey has anyone checked out Brand Hatch it has a race gong on on Google Earth it has all the lorries parked out side with Ducati written on top of them also at Sliverstone it has some caterhams and what looks like Lotus's going around.

 

[UnoMOTO]

One might say I cheated a bit on that one. I actually searched for "wild elephants" and it zoomed in on that. Its just a small high res area in a sea of nothingness. I'm not sure how google even did that one.

 

[lmracer]

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming. no snow!

​

find me an autocross event going on in a parking lot.

hint: check the Atlanta Georgia metro area (google earth)​

I'm stubborn and didn't want to use your clue. This is from Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Find me a coal train

 

[lmracer]

[UnoMOTO]

How about any train not in a rail yard or at a station?
