Giant Figures

These are giant figures seen from Google Earth. I wonder how can people create this figure. Can you imagine how vast the land is? Now wonder only Google Earth that can only see and detect these figures. I bet no one even realize that they are standing in the face of Oprah like the one below.


Often referred to as one of the most influential women in the world, chat show host Oprah Winfrey certainly knows how to draw an audience. No wonder she’s also the richest women on TV. *Must get snipping.

The Château de Versailles, although some 20 km from the capital of France, was once the centre of political power, making it a revered institution and highly-visited sight. The gardens of Versailles cover 800 hectares of land and have been carefully manicured for centuries in the traditional French style. Only since the advent of Google Earth have we been able to view the lawns so meticulously, revealing this smiley face hidden in the grounds.

Created as part of her Media Arts degree, student Melanie Coles created huge paintings of children’s book character Waldo, or Wally as he’s known outside America, to be placed on various rooftops in Vancouver, Canada, so everyone can play the Where’s Waldo game.


A monkey is on the loose somewhere in Mexico. The design resembles ancient Mesoamerican art, giving a clue to its age, though we’re not entirely sure. UPDATE: Okay, okay, the monkey’s in Peru. Take a chill pill guys.


The farmer of this land has obviously gone all creative on his days off producing a great image of a tractor in one of the fields.
