Kazakhstan has a lot of very, very remote places, and one of them just happens to be home to a humongous pentagram, at least on first view. This is actually the largest airplane boneyard on earth, and though many of the planes here will never fly again, some will re-enter service if need be. If you've ever wondered where airplanes go when they're retired, it's to an airplane boneyard like this one at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. This photo isn't as much weird as it is really stinking cool. So, in other words, no, they didn't do this just for the benefit of Google's cameras! Editor's Tip: Not sure how to work your lens properly? Learn how to read the markings on your lens. Google doesn't need to send its cameras into space to find wild things to photograph.Ī few years ago while conducting street view photography, one of their cameras captured this strange scene of people dressed like pigeons.Īpparently this is a thing in this area of Japan - to do pigeon role play. Here's just a sampling of weird Google Earth images from around the world. That fact alone makes it one of the best photography inventions of all time, if you ask me.īut throw in the fact that Google Earth (and Google Maps, too) takes photos of some really weird things, and you have the makings for one heck of a way to entertain yourself. The complex dates to before the arrival of Europeans in North America (featured in Wisconsin’s Great River Road, Day 2).By now, it's no secret that Google Earth is an incredibly powerful tool that has allowed everyday people like you and I to explore areas of the world that we would otherwise never get to see. These, of course, are ancient conical mounds found at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. One of the search engines forwarded a viewer to my site earlier this evening under the search term “nice big mounds.” Do you think the viewer may have been a tad bit disappointed when the image he requested produced the following? I get great tips from viewers and love to explore areas I haven’t covered before. If you would like me to focus some attention on your state our country please let me know and perhaps offer some suggestions. It’s part of the Hope Iron Furnace complex (circa 1854-1874) in Allensville, Ohio ( map). It’s not weird at all but I like historical sites so I’m invoking Writers Prerogative. Here I’ve sneaked in something historical. Good lord, it’s is so bizarre it borders on the brilliant. This compilation led to an entire park filled with concrete corncobs in Dublin, Ohio ( map). UPDATE: The company left the building in 2016 and sold it in 2017. They made it of stucco formed over steel. It’s the headquarters of the Longaberger Basket company in Newark, Ohio ( map). This isn’t just some large basket, rather it’s an entire functional building shaped like a basket. Here’s a water tower shaped like a pumpkin in Circleville, Ohio ( map). I’ve reproduced some of the attractions the developer mentioned in visual format for your amusement. Thankfully, however, there are enough boldly wacky and tacky spots to hold my interest. It’s a little heavy on spooky supernatural stuff that doesn’t hold much appeal to a skeptic such as myself. Have any of the Ohio readers seen these sights? You probably don’t even have to have a connection to Ohio to appreciate many of them although it might be useful. I’ve had some fun poking around the waypoints the developer included on the map. With that in mind I thought I’d throw something special their way, a Google Maps compilation that I recently stumbled across called “ Weird Ohio Explorations.” A number of regular Twelve Mile Circle readers track to IP addresses in Ohio.
