This is another collection of interesting things I found while exploring Google Earth.
The Platte River in Nebraska (USA). The mid-channel bars are clearly visible here. There is some old saying about this river that goes something like, “1 mile wide and 1 foot deep.” Or something like that.

The circular feature here currently a slight depression. That depression is the only evidence for the largest domestic explosion in the UK’s history. At least I think this is it. I was lead to the area by some info from an old forum.

This is the flood plain of the Danube River in Hungary. We can see an old oxbow lake W of Makad and lots of evidence of past natural levees (all the swirly lines).
