With its detailed satellite photos, Google's interactive map lets everyone be a virtual globetrotter. And some of the things we've found in our travels are downright bizarre.


In Westenbergstraat, Netherlands, drivers apparently have to park on the sides of walls (Google Earth coordinates 52.069207,4.3139865). (Can you spot those cars on the photo?)


Huge and Unique: Finding huge and unique things via Google Earth is one of the most popular activities within the Google Earth community. This giant pink bunny (Google Earth coordinates 44.244273,7.769737) in Prata Nevoso, Italy, was built by a group of artists from Vienna, according to published accounts. Its 200 feet long and answers to the name Hare.


Big Commute: Googles satellites sometimes catch the Earths inhabitants on the move, like these ten African elephants (Google Earth coordinates 10.903497,19.93229).


Only From the Sky: Dubbed The Badlands Guardian by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdressand earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally.


African Break Time: National Geographic partnered with Google Earth on a project called Africa Megaflyover. The magazine has made more than 500 high-resolution images accessible through Google Earth, including this close-up view.


Big Advertising: Check out this massive Coca-Cola logo (-18.529225,-70.25002) etched into a hillside in Chile with 70,000 Coke bottles.


Celebrity Obsession: As if Oprah Winfreys celebrity werent big enough already, an Arizona farmer built a 10-acre homage to the talk show host (Google Earth coordinates 33.225488,-111.5955). Visitors can tell their friends, I got lost inside Oprahs head.
