Google earth is a very effective tool if used right but this is one feature the Bahrain government would gladly do without. The government blocked Google Earth when it discovered that the oppressed Shiite majority where using the tool to view palaces and other estates that make up 95% of the country. The controversial images captured in an anonymously distributed PDF file caused uproar and fed the current mass revolt happening in the country.

Creating Animals from Earth’s Continents and Isles (12 pics + flash)

Posted in Pictures 23 Jun 2010   / 4635 views
This project named ‘Piece together for peace’ is simply brilliant.
It’s in fact a Chinese calendar where each month is represented by an animal created by using the continents and isles of the Earth. As you may have already guessed, those are the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
And as a bonus, there’s also a flash animation at the end that recaptures the 12 pictures and shows how the continents and isles are taken and moved to form the animals.
It’s very well done, so don’t miss it!
