Now, what are *you*?

In the middle of a Libyan desert, coloured like Mars and with sand-dunes looking like the cartoons of a mad fluid dynamicist, we find

this.

My guess is that it's either a gas well or an extraction head for the Great Underground River project, but it's a beautifully alien region.

Er... looks like it's inside Algeria to me.

How odd, there are quite a few spots around the desert with high resolution images of various strategic assets that quite clearly show up as squares of differing colour to the surrounding image. I wonder why Google is doing that? To satisfy a geeky curiousity? To prove that it's got more information processing resources than most countries?

Iraq is quite well covered by now.
