Nice collection syzygy! I've seen a few of these on American farmland, of course don't remember where. I'll placemark them if I see more.

Thank you willi1 for this great scene! As if were from an Aladdin movie!(:

Notice, also path of the devil (30+ meters) clearly visible behind the cone. -based on depth of surface scar, it was about to calm down as caught by the imaging equipment.

Follow thread of my other notice on these NatGeo Africa-Megaflyover imagery locations at Data Discussions!

Would be great! That would mean another continent again!(:

(*The first was my '7th son', which one also been existed only as GE Photo layer content.)
