I've been cruising around Google Earth while looking ahead to a drill programme and came across this. It's as if the land knows I'm about to open pit mine it.

It's a lot like the painting "The Scream" isn't it?

Now, if it was only the Virgin Mary you could rake in big bucks selling prints on eBay ... ;-)

That's what I thought. Maybe I should avoid this area in case it's haunted. :-O

I see it as more of a Simpsons character, except elongated. The eyeballs and the dome-head, mainly. The mouth is an "O" of surprise to me, not the tortured scream of the painting. So if the site IS haunted, it's more of a friendly, bumbling ghost.

You know when the earth says no, she really means yes...

She just wants a mix tape first.

RE: Ravaging the Earth
I got all excited thinking this was in the Challenge Suggestions forum. :/

My first impression was Homer Simpson: "Doh!" and also I would bet that most inanimate objects could be caught wincing and cringing when Slippy passes by - just happened to capture it this time. Well done. :-)
