Ah, ok, this is what I am seeing, this from about a year ago. The yellow thing is, I believe, a concrete batch mixer, you can see it in the picture below. The other thing may just be an artifact of the way they do the 3D maps.

yeah, when you hover over the site and then click 3d buildings, then you get a newer picture (well better than 1/17/14)

If not an artifact, @danlb_2000 knows far more than I, would it be attached to the fixture inside this semicircled area?

The picture you posted was taken well after the 3D view and I don't see the object in that picture.

I think I figured it out, it's a piece of the old Pocahontas theatre. I lines up almost perfectly with where the tent cover attaches to the building.

Probably just some folded up piece of construction equipment, maybe a pylon driver, that created a whacko 3D model then.

I just updated my response, I think I figured It out.

Dang, shouldn't you be reviewing aerial reconnaissance imagery for some spy agency for a living? Or perhaps you already do.....

You might want to move your computer a little further away from that window.

Great detective work!

There is new 2015 3D flyover of the area on Google Earth!

You can see at least two objects have gone vertical. One is a tower shape and the other is a suspended upside down "L" shape.

probably the flying island?

the first one looks more like those towers to mix cement than an actual building lol.

so.. I was right..

Yeah, they need three cranes to move it!



Wait, we talking about the same thing here?

If you need three cranes to move it, you should call a doctor.

(sorry)

Thanks! I like how the shadows help show how tall stuff is.

And now... in 3D!

I did some of these awhile back. Some people can see the 3D, some can't. You have to look "crosseyed" to make the stereo pair come together. To me it's easiest to stare at the middle image then shift my eyes a little to the right while forcing them to go crosseyed. Relax a little and try to get the dots at the top of the image to merge. Eventually it'll work. It's possible to look at the 3D "inverted" with the vertical areas going toward the ground and not up. If that happens just try to shift your gaze to the other size of the three images.

Looking at the smaller image is usually easier to start with.

Good luck.
