Google Earth: Man zooms in on hill full of crosses

In the video you can see how he zooms into the map in an inconspicuous place. He marks the spot with blue stripes and dots. Contours give the impression that it could be a hill. Suddenly it becomes greener, first you can see fields and trees. Then the user pans to the left and crosses become visible. Apparently thousands and thousands of crosses towering meters high give a bizarre picture.

Product reviews have a strong impact on online purchasing decisions. Two

particularly strange and probably honest cases cause laughter on the Internet.

 It is a phenomenon that recurs every year.

White covered streets, meadows and fields - in the middle of summer.

And it could be dangerous. 

Animals are actually exempt from the mask requirement. The photo of a dog with a supposed mask now causes surprise - then the owner clears up. *
