Exploring USA with Google... (weird!)

Post by Salinga »

Someone built the word "LUECKE" with trees over a BIG area!? This is in southern USA. WTF!?

That's German for "gap." Maybe it's a gap in the mapping for that area? :shrug:

No, that's actually "written" with trees. When you zoom in you can see the shadows of the trees.

And the area the letters take is huge, it has the size of a little town (you can put dozens of houses is just one "letter")!

I just wonder, why someone would do that!? It makes no sense!?
