Several of these images are corn mazes — Arizona Oprah, the Exploding Pumpkin, and the Choo Choo Train, for sure. Corn mazes are a form of agri-tourism wherein a farmer generates revenue by planting a special kind of corn on from one to ten acres of farmland. Mazes are usually planted off-season, so they will be lush and green in the late fall and stand through winter, but are barely recognizable in the summer. They are carefully diagrammed and planted on a grid to make the picture/maze (rather than being cut to shape after they are grown) and the image is usually changed each year. You can find out more — and see lots of aerial photos — at http://www.cornmazesamerica.com/

BTW, they are very successful businesses, too. I know a farmer who makes in excess of $75,000 per year just from tourists visiting his maze, which is only open during the month of October.

Very cool; would have been even more cool if the pictures linked to the location on google maps (satellite), or at least listed the global coordinates so we could look at them ourselves.

The smiley face at Versailles is clearly seen in the 17th C maps of the place. Unfortunately the old menagerie is no longer there; it had a rather “masculine” look.

I’m not sure what that triangle is but it’s curious that it is exact north.Interestingly enough there is another tringle at 33 44 39 80 N 112 37 57 14 W just NW of Surprise Arizona and is the same size measured with my googleearth ruler.

The checker-board “forest” is more than likely a private tree plantation.
