I was looking for a B&B which is done as a geodesic dome in rural Kentucky. We see it from the road (great distance) but how to get to it? So while scrolling close ups of the area on map in satellite view I came across this.
When you go to the link, change it to satellite view and you will see it. Someone in google shopped this in as a sort of Easter egg. I find it funny that anyone like this managed to get a job with google.

Not the first time. Buddy of mine cut FJB in one of his fields.

It appears to me to be a photoshop on the satellite image.
I may drive over there and investigate it in person.

How do you know it’s shopped in? It gives me an idea for my lot and wouldn’t be difficult to do. It just wouldn’t have a nice north-south orientation like this one.

No compass? Compass app on cell phone?

I did and it matches the other bare spots on that property. I might check other aerial views. Who knows?
To: BipolarBob
The cleared part of my lot isn’t shaped to accommodate that. It would be sideways.

I am waiting to hear back from a family member that is more expert than I at detecting photoshopping to see what he thinks.

I wonder how large it must be to show up on a satellite photo. I have about three acres of pasture that I’m not using.
Of course, you also need to know when they are taking the photo. Google Maps doesn’t have live photo images. The satellite photo over my property changes about once a year.

No reason to think anyone at Google had anything to do with it. Just a farmer or other rural dweller with some spare land and an hour with a dozer or backhoe or something. You’ll find barns and other large buildings all over the place with messages like this, so no reason to think its photoshopped. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is collecting coordinates of a bunch of “Trump” locations like this that people have done.
To: MV=PY
The same way you photoshop any other photographic image

Yeah, zooming in I'm nearly positive this isn't a digital manipulation. Not hard to do at all for a landowner with decent equipment.
Around the time of the 2020 election I recall news stories about stuf like this popping up, visible from the air. I've seen a couple personally in my travels as well.
