The Indian with the "ipod" is my favorite - I'm off to try and find the rest!

Pretty cool!! I recognized a couple of those spots...

The triangle with the circles is actually part of an air force high altitude bombing range target.

I'm pretty sure the Circle with the star pattern in it (towards the end) is also part of a practice range. That's the "layout" that old Soviet air defense used to protect high value targets. The same pattern is used in training pilots out in the Nevada/New Mexico deserts.

And my favorite... the sunbather on the back patio.

Great find TM!

I wish I was this good with audio & video, despite the musical selection used here. Heck, it took me a week to figure out how Google Earth worked!
