Here is one that is fun. But I will give the location, and you can find out what is there.
Put this in your Google Earth, or just put it into the Google search engine. When viewing Google Maps, select satellite view. Then zoom in.

Ah, good deal. I could see the shadow and I thought I knew what it was but all I could come up with was _______ .

I thought already it was something East Asian but could not find it.

^ me too. At first I thought it was Taipei 101 but when I zoomed in I noticed I was wrong.
@ machinebacon: this was new to me but indeed shocking and a perfect example of megalomania.

@aiBo, it is your turn, this is fun. But note, I am a geographer.

Sorry, didn't thought about throwing a new one in. Thanks for keeping it rolling, machinebacon.
The colors in this one looks interesting.

^ That one is somehow difficult, no idea. I thought about the Mediterranean. But maybe I am totally wrong.

^ If not the location - what do we actually see there?

^ Do you mean this brown/green colors and there is a lake maybe, or is it the sea?
Offline
Yeah, I mean the strange colours which look like lakes (and actually are, kind of). It's funny: if you know the location, you know what is special about the lakes - and if you know the lakes, you know the location (this area of the city nearby is quite famous - very famous, actually)

Eiger Nordwand?

Indeed it is a famous north-west wall, but not at the Eiger. Also it is not limestone, but igneous rock.

^ Oh yes! There's not much snow on the screenshot. Are we on the American continent?
