Google Maps hearts Area 51
Apr 26, 2005 | Search

It’s a testament to how well Shannon knows me that she sent me this link to a post on Defense Tech about cool Area 51-related satellite images in Google Maps. This is my favorite, mostly because it’s fun to think about the work that went into making it…

I suspect that your favorite image is an artwork, not a functional object like an antenna farm or anything. It looks like the work of Lita Albuquerque, she used to go out in the desert and “draw” huge HUGE earthworks on the desert floor with pigments, like this:

Inspired by your mention of Area 51 GoogleMaps, I went and looked up the Trinity Test Site (60th anniversary this year) and, of course, posted about it.
