Hard to find the yellow/black checked one

You found an inflatable fairground attraction, but it's not an advertising... sorry.

Oops! I validated this dupe.

This one is bigger but have similarities...

More than 5000 visits in one day for each of these maps... Both military topic.

Thanks :)

Please, try to post a link or more info with your submissions. Thanks.

Or maybe in the "hotest" places. Darfur, Iraq...

Nice one!
You just need a house in fire...

It's the Salber Gift Shop, but I can't find ground pictures.

Ok sorry.

Obviously there are often airbuses from german gov in Dulles airport. Cooperation, or...

The shadow is at the opposite way to the other shadows... Could be a sort of hole or an emboss in the film.

Flying ?

Cool, so you can post a picture.

"Luftwaffe" means "Air army" it's the German air force.

ok

This helicopter is parked. Where is the helipad.

If it was a Pikachu beetle, you'd probably can see the shadows of the "tail and ears"

Thanks. I also have a lot of view on 3 new maps. GM maps with LL thumbs.

Where did you see the stats for the number of views ? Don't tell me you check all your maps one by one...

Yep, solid structure...

Very nice find. Bravo.

Wow. A concorde in flight. Nice find :)

Gaußplatz is just an Vienna tramway station.
Gauss place. (Probably Carl Friedrich Gauss, the mathematician)
And 31 is the number of the line.

It's the fire trainer of Tucson Airport.

Why did you call it "Landing gear problem" ?

TSV : Turn und Spielverein von 1846
Turnament and play association : Football Club since 1846

Nice find. Who are the two moustach men ?

It's a fire truck, but not a ladder truck.

Wow, bravo !
So, now, this ship have a name...

A Tallink ferry in Italy, is quite unusual. It's an scandinavian company. With only line between Sweden, Finland, Estonia... (Tallinn)
Perhaps could we finally find the name of this lost ship.

No, this casino is in Venezia, not Mestre.

Any info ? Casino website ? More info needed before validation.

Just 10 days after the 9/11...
Other hypotheses explaining the explosion have been discussed by the public:
- an unexplained initial subterranean explosion roughly 8 seconds before the main AZF explosion, in the SNPE (Société Nationale de Propulsants et Explosifs) located mere hundreds of meters away from the AZF factory, which would have caused electrical deficiencies (as shown on the records by the national electric company EDF) and an electrical arc that could have provided...

Even the cause of the catastrophe isn't completely known...

Look at the GoogleMaps link... sunk

I'm talking about the extremely low mlc1us last link, not this one.

I think it's an illusion. The plane is just verticaly above the 21R runway. Look at the wind sock's shadow. (The sun is practically behind the photographer)

Can anyone read and translate the text on the blue roof ?

"FREE HANSON"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Hanson

It's the Alhambra fortress...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/3203/

It's the "Lady Moura"
http://g_whiting.perso.libello.com/images/yachts/yachtsbysize/pages/page_9.html

Yes, it's the title of this artwork.

You're right, thanks.
(You can see than the google map is not updated and keep the old name.)

Ha ha! Nice find for your 7000th map. Bravo

I don't think so. Look the big white building just on the north, it looks warped or spherized. Water drops should altered the focus...

In this area, you can see a lot of distortions like that. Perhaps a new projection test.

Good job ;)

"Bravo à toute l'équipe de France Télévision."
(Cheer for all the France-Télévision team)

Looks more like men at work on the middle of the street. The yellow truck, the smoking asphalt...

You mean too long ? Length : 5.20 m
Wiesel 1 length : 3.30 - 3.60 m
Wiesel 2 length : 4.20 m

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiesel_1

The Aretusa, the first of the hydro–oceanographic ships built for the Italian Navy. They represent the largest GRP catamarans (40m in length) ever built in the world.

thanks.

Bravo!

Just because the man isn't on the camel but at his side.

(Anyway, it's a dromedary, not a camel.)

It's exactly at the same place than the gone circus...
http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/7513/

Perhaps just a big mould for big Bordeaux bottles... :)

Great place, easy to make good pictures.

It's the "Zingaro" big top for the Avignon festival.

They don't want we know about the plant manager's baldness.

The old city walls remain, as does the Bargate, formerly the main gateway to the city at the northern end of the walls (Southampton has England's second-longest stretch of surviving Medieval wall, the longest being in York). The Bargate is often used as a symbol of the city, and is a prominent part of the city council's corporate identity.

If you're really looking for fun in Paris, I can give you much better addresses. :)

I think that they have read my advise on this post : http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/24576/
But they forgot to call me... :)

Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy

You can see another shooting on this street on GoogleMaps

You're right. Not the same tail.

P51 or not?

Burgarian cross of bravery.

Look few meters to the east, you can see the words "Съединение на България" (Bulgarian unification)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_unification

Official link of this incredible place :

Haha! Beautiful example of bad censorship. Covering an harbor with deep forest. "Mister terrorists, please don't look there. There are only nice birds and kind rabbits."
(Thanks to Buba for the info)

18th Concorde on VGT!
Bravo

Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore

It's the Temple of Minerva Medica

Yes, on the south, you can see a big bear wearing a shirt and a grey dog.

Shaped like the P-51 mustang

The name of this post could be : Amsterdam flag made with sank boats.

You can see a lot like that in schoolyards in Germany. It's just fake roads for children. Child's scooter and bike, to learn how to stop before the pedestrian crossing and how to give way to the vehicles on your right..

Look the flag of amsterdam :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Amsterdam.svg

Mike your thumbs still are 122x122 pixels... I think it's the reason why they look strange. 150x150 is needed.

A "maps" category could be a good idea. Or a "reduced things" and a "oversized things" categories...

They should try twinning with the city of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/11066/

And the name is :
"Mahnmal für die Opfer des Ersten Weltkrieges"
(Memorial for the victims of the WWI)

Find it :
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Mahnmal_Düsseldorf_Nordfriedhof.jpg
It's a statue in the "North cemetery of Düsseldorf". A "Mahnmal" is a sort of opposite of a memorial and erect to remind a negative historical event.

Could be a mistake, the censored zone is a perfect circle...

Look there, it's a similar place with people shooting.
http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/26386/

I suggest to Google to censor all the roads and american cities too. You never know.
But please, let my house in Paris clearly visible. I'm not afraid. Censorship is the result of fear. If you are scared, terrorists have won.

Larry

You're right, if the zone had not been censured before, we would not noticed that. It's obviously still censored, cleverly, but still censored.

Only BMX. No motors allowed. It's called "Terrain de bicross"

Nice find! Probably gooses.

Are you sure the coverage is post Katherina ?

25 000!

Nice one!

Now in High Res in GE

Here are anothers :

I think someone have to warn german soldiers that they have forgot two dangerous things in their garden.

Easy to steal...
