Over in the UK there is a 650 foot long earth sculpture of a running horse called Sultan the Pit Pony. It’s an amazing piece of work, and it’s perfect for viewing three dimensionally in Google Earth.
If you don’t yet have it installed, use my Google Pack link to get it, then just follow this link to open Sultan in Google Earth.
Near Ystrad Mynach in south Wales, we find a fantastic 200 metre long earth-sculpture of Sultan the Pit Pony.
This is the UK’s largest figurative earth sculpture, and although I’m not sure there’s actually much competition for that particular title, Sultan sure is impressive. I particularly like the way his ear sticks right up in the air!
Sultan definitely looks a lot more like a Stallion than a Pit Pony, and as it turns out, this work (by landscape sculptor Mick Petts) was actually named Sultan by the locals – after a famous Pit Pony that used to work in the old colliery.
There’s more info on Sultan at the Caerphilly County Borough Council website.
