Google Earth

[The Holy Roller]

I use the Google Maps (satellite version) to zoom all over the planet and try and find targets places I've never seen, like the Eifel Tower, Red Square, the Washington Monument, etc. But I can't find the Pentagon. Can someone give me a direction from the Washington Monument which way to go?

 

I also like to lok at my home from space. We have a 200+ year old white oak in our backyard that is freaking visble from space! Google Maps are simply awesome.

The Dept. of Defense has cleverly camoflauged it to be more hexagonal shaped now.
