Here is another one of those interesting Google Map things i promised to post. Although this one looks like the landing pad for an alien space ship, it's actually a very large scale art project called "Desert Breath" that was done by a diverse group of artists known as D.A.S.T made up of sculptor Danae Stratou; her sister Alexandra, an industrial designer; and architect Stella Constandinidis. They started the work in 1995 and finished it in 1997. The scuplture covers 25 acres and it is slowly fading in time. I'm not sure if the photo is recent or not, but the sculpture seems to be holding up.
