strange and interesting images from google earth

last year, one of the google earth community members ‘valery35′ found a huge picture (36 miles tall) of santa on google earth.












this giant pink bunny (google earth coordinates 44.244273,7.769737) in prata nevoso, italy, was built by a group of artists from vienna, according to published accounts. it's 200 feet long and answers to the name "hare."







national geographic partnered with google earth on a project called africa megaflyover. the magazine has made more than 500 high-resolution images accessible through google earth, including this close-up view (google earth coordinates 15.298693,19.429661) of camels and their caretakers taking a water break in nigeria.



google's satellites sometimes catch the earth's inhabitants on the move, like these ten african elephants (google earth coordinates 10.903497,19.93229).
