| romulusnr | 2006-04-10 18:55:14 | Bhit Island | These are part of the Baba Bhit district of Kiamari Town. Apparently this is made up of Baba Island and Bhit Island. Traveljournals.net's coords nail this one as Bhit Island, with Baba Island to the... |
| romulusnr | 2006-04-10 18:20:45 | Airliner maintenance? | Quite likely this is the Japan Turbine Technolgies (a joint Japan Air and Pratt&Whitney venture) repair facility in Narita. ... |
| romulusnr | 2006-04-10 17:58:43 | Not-So-Smooth Sailing through the mussle racks | I'm pretty convinced these are moorings -- a concrete slab dropped to the bottom with a rope tied to a bouy on the surface. Note there are some with boats attached. They make no ripples, even with... |
| romulusnr | 2006-04-05 13:11:40 | Old in the middle of new | That's brilliant. They ought to make paths into it and make it an historic park. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-30 12:53:26 | Sun, Moon, Star & Stripes, and other Parking Lot Symbols | The white star on blue circle in front of red/white stripes seems a lot like the USAF national insignia markings at least in design:
... |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-27 14:24:35 | Triangles | looks like it might be a coat of arms. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-17 16:34:18 | Boston City Hall | The LL thumbnail shows the mayor's office. Can you tell where it is? That's one of the things that rock about this design. Instead of the purpose being forced to fit the building, the building was... |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-17 16:28:03 | Boston City Hall | BCH is the ambassador of kickyourassador. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-17 16:25:11 | Boston Museum of Science | I used to know this place inside and out. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-17 13:09:27 | GE Factory of the Future | I remember seeing videos of robotic forklifts etc. at a Family Day at the main plant when I was a child. My grandfather was a quality control tester for jet engine parts at the Lynn plant for many... |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-17 13:05:47 | Giant Tomato Farm in Brazil? | On this same block is EEPG Jose Carlos Dias, a primary school. Maybe this building is related? |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-15 19:05:59 | University of Washington | This should probably just be called Husky Stadium. This is hardly the entire campus. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-13 18:19:00 | Possible crater in Western Sahara | Well, Dr. El-Baz at BU wrote back to me and told me this is a known volcanic structure. So, no impact crater. |

| romulusnr | 2006-03-13 15:20:54 | Star in a ring | It looks an awful lot like a pagan Sabbat circle. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-07 13:38:46 | 'News 3' / 'SRP' in field | Thumbs rotated 90 deg right so text is right-side-up. |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-07 13:32:27 | Oprah Maze | These fields are apparently sold by the owners for advertising from the air. Check LL imagery for this and for the neighboring field (which in GM says "News 3" and in LL says "SRP"). |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-07 13:31:44 | Oprah Maze | Station is KTVK. |

| romulusnr | 2006-03-06 17:33:58 | Capital City Airport (CXY) | 200 K.C. ? KC meaning kilocycles i.e. kHz, thereby indicating the frequency of the tower radio.
After that I can make out J ?? 5 M.C. The 5 M.C. would presumably be MHz, indicating a... |
| romulusnr | 2006-03-05 03:08:07 | Museum of Fine Arts | Looks like a big field trip in the LL aerial. |

| romulusnr | 2006-03-01 15:37:45 | Aurora Bridge | LL aerial thumb is of Fremont Bridge. |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-28 13:22:50 | Isle of Man | Definitely a satellite update here around the city of Douglas, but not with hi-res. Odd. |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-27 16:07:45 | South Central Correctional Center | LL shows another prison nearby but I'm assuming this, the much larger one, is SCCC. |

| romulusnr | 2006-02-22 13:51:20 | Smiley face roof | I gotta say, after trekking down here to snap the pics, that it was a considerable anticlimax for what is now an internationally famous building (if only for 15 minutes). There is no higher ground in... |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-22 13:46:25 | Puyallup Fair Grounds | I suppose the actual name is technically Western Washington Fairgrounds. |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-17 15:58:37 | United States Disciplinary Barracks | It's getting to the point where I can look at an aerial photo and say "hey, that looks like a prison." Creepy. |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-15 14:35:10 | Correctional Treatment Facility | I don't *think* so. They appear to be separate but possibly related facilities (note the skywalk).
This link indicates that they are separate but adjacent complexes:

| romulusnr | 2006-02-15 14:06:13 | Beatles Abbey Road zebra crossing | I always wondered why the lane stripes zig-zag on that street. Does that mean something special to British drivers? |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-14 18:41:31 | LDS Temple - Seattle | This place is like a freaking fortress. Only decent place to take a picture from is driving up 148th. Although there may be a walking trail along the edge. |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-13 13:26:29 | Giant cowboy hat and boots | As of 2003 they are located four blocks north in recently-built Oxbow Park (cf.).

| romulusnr | 2006-02-10 18:07:53 | Berkeley Pier | I don't think this is the Key Route Pier. All information points to this being Berkeley Pier. Key Route Pier stemmed from Oakland.
This slide suggests that the Key Route Pier was very... |
| romulusnr | 2006-02-10 00:32:17 | 320th and Pacific Highway | For the record, Sea-Tac is not in Federal Way, despite the fact that the Commons Mall (which is on the southeast corner) was until recently called SeaTac Mall. |

| romulusnr | 2006-02-01 14:58:37 | Plymouth Rock | Note that you cannot possibly see the rock from above; it is under a shelter. |

| romulusnr | 2005-12-07 18:46:49 | Scotia Plate | I never saw the "IW" country before. I just did what I did for Marianas Trench, which was to associate it with the closest listed "country".
As for South Sandwich Microplate, it may... |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-29 13:18:21 | Barlock Early Warning Radar? | Isn't that awfully nice brickwork making those mounds to be used for military purposes?
The central one (slightly north of the others and larger) shows brickwork all within, while the... |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-17 12:06:50 | Lost roman ruins (?) | Well it certainly doesn't look well taken care of. |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-16 14:25:54 | Muckleshoot Casino | Perhaps the most popular casino in the south sound area, it is a favorite spot for tax-free cigarettes and legal fireworks. It is also the favorite scapegoat, along with other tribal casinos, of tax... |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-16 14:20:54 | Walla Walla College | Walla Walla College is a Seventh-Day Adventist school, and arguably the second best college in southwestern WA, with many non-SDA students. It is not actually in the city of Walla Walla, having been... |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-16 14:15:25 | Wildhorse Casino | The Umatilla reservation is completely dry; even the casino has no alcohol and guests are asked not to bring or use any alcohol on the res. They do have plenty of free caffeine though and a good... |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-16 14:03:43 | Macau SAR Government Headquarters | Honestly I don't know if this and the other two Macau government buildings should be Government-Local or Government-National-Foreign. Macau is not independent but it has much autonomy. |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-15 22:22:40 | Tacoma Museum of Glass | Uh, it's an art museum. Glass art, to be precise. |
| romulusnr | 2005-11-15 14:07:32 | Macau International Airport | Note that the bridges to the landing strip are not roads but taxiways. The planes land on the strip, and then drive over the water to the terminal on the main island. |

| romulusnr | 2005-11-01 19:01:17 | Unidentified Floating Object | On closer inspection I think it's of wooden construction. I think the east half is below water, too. |
| romulusnr | 2005-10-31 17:31:26 | Lake Nedo (looks like Milk Lake) | Google Earth calls it Lake Nedo, with Little Lake Nedo just to the northeast.
I blame the whiteness on reflection from the sun, which is not uncommon in bodies of water.

| romulusnr | 2005-10-28 17:39:45 | Lost roman ruins (?) | Inspired by the Italian guy who discovered Roman ruins via Google Earth, he's looking for patterns in farmland.
Unfortunately I think he just found a cropfield plowed in an oval form. |

| romulusnr | 2005-10-28 15:01:59 | Bazillions of beach umbrellas | I'm guessing these are laid out by a nearby hotel(s) or something. How else could they be all perfectly arranged and all the same size and color? |

Technically city should be Edgartown. |

| romulusnr | 2005-10-26 15:59:11 | Plimoth Plantation | BTW the spelling is correct; the museum uses the archaic spelling in its name. |

| romulusnr | 2005-10-17 13:05:01 | Seattle Space Needle | Note that this was taken during the Needle's 40th Anniversary, when it was repainted with an orange roof as it was during the 1962 World's Fair. Normally, the roof is white. |

Hmm, I guess so: ... |

| romulusnr | 2005-09-29 15:01:31 | Lens Flare | it's those damned aliens again.
Anyway, the address appears to be that of the Circolo Vicentini nel Mondo, an Italian club. |
| romulusnr | 2005-08-30 12:52:45 | Burning oil? | Doubtful, I don't see any indication of oil production or of fire. The nearby land looks like farmland. Being so far inland, an oil field would need a pipeline to transport the oil to the coast. |
| romulusnr | 2005-08-29 14:45:39 | Big Brother (US) House | Frankly after last Thu I'm not watching anymore this season. |
| romulusnr | 2005-08-19 18:03:34 | Glorieta del Metro Insurgentes | looks like it's just a major city square in Mexico City. Roughly translates to Public Square of City Insurgents. |
