I’ve received couple of Crop Circle submissions in the past, but even though they looked nice, I never thought of them as optical illusions. This case was different.

Price Sicardsure pointed this questionable Google Earth location. You can find it yourself; just point Google Earth/Google Maps to: 32°40′44.16″N with 117° 9′42.89″W. Consider this as an interesting assignment, that will also try and teach you how to read geographical latitudes and longitudes. Google them if you don’t understand what they are… In short, these [...]
