The alphabet!

I'm looking for either natural or human created letters and numbers. I hope at some point in the future to have a complete set of both upper and lower case characters.

Here are three to get started. Located at RAF Cosford, near Wallsall, West Midlands, England. ( 52°38'30.56"N, 2°18'52.60"W) Ultimately, though I want places with just one letter or number, and I want them to be big enough not to be pixellated when they fill a decent part of the screen.

Flying around an island.

Graciosa Airport (Portuguese: Aérodromo da Graciosa) is an airport in Graciosa Island in the Azores. It's precise location is 39° 5'32.00"N 28° 1'48.20"W.

(I wonder if there's a way of embedding kmz links into my posts here?)

Last night, I set myself a mission. Using the propellor plane, the SR22, I had to take off, staying on the runway, fly right around the island, and land on the runway again.

Taking off was fine. I can take off, no problem. Flying around the island was fine. I can fly around an island 3 times before breakfast.
Landing was not so fine. It never is. Scared and hesitant, I came in too slowly, lost my stability, and landed on a wing and a prayer, except without the prayer. At least I managed to crash on the runway.

Why???

Here it is: The whole damn world!



I spend a lot of time google earthing. I think it's just awesome that we can see the whole world just by dragging a mouse around.

Since it's coming up with lots of things that I find fascinating, I decided that a blog would be a good way of sharing it. So there you go. I have to go to 53°17'1.62"N 2°56'21.21"W to work now, but I'll post something interesting later I'm sure.
