On the beach near the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego there are some mini sand dunes that spell out “Coronado”.

The 70 metre DSS-14 Deep Space Antenna was built by NASA in 1966 and services radio and radar astronomy projects, as well as occasionally tracking long-distance spacecraft. Apparently it weighs nearly 6 million pounds (2,721,554 kilos).

Long Beach, CA is a major port of entry for goods imported into the US via ship. This view gives a nice perspective on the sheer scale of the operation. Note the thousands of containers used in the process. Panning slightly to the right will also show a lone Queen Mary docked next to a large shiny object I guess is a fuel storage container.

Thanks: Todd Holden, John Neilson & Joe

After my faux pas of calling Walt Disney World in Florida “Disneyland” a few people submitted the real Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

A little to the south of The Warner Bros. Studio I posted earlier in the week is Universal City, “Steg” breaks down what you can see:

In this shot you have the theme park and the CityWalk in the foreground. The circular border of trees separates it from the actual film studios and backlot. The backlot extends to the top right where it eventually ends at a tip and then you get Burbank Studios aka Warner Bros.

In the thumbnail shot you can see fictional street “Wisteria Lane” from TV show “Desperate Housewives” (Thanks Josh!).
