Huge EU Poster in Google Earth
While browsing Google Earth, found this huge EU poster spread
on the grounds near the Eiffel Tower. The poster measures about 25x55 metres
(82x180 ft). France had assumed presidency of European Union in July 2008 and at
that time the Eiffel Tower was lit up with the colours and insignia of the EU
flag. The GE imagery in which the poster is available is dated 01/01/2008 and my
guess is that the poster could be a run up for taking over the presidency in
July.
I couldn't find any information about this poster and it is
not known how long the poster was displayed. The subsequent GE imagery of
01/01/2011 doesn't show the poster.
The right bottom of the poster bears the name of French
Media giant Lagardère and presumably they had sponsored it.
The poster is probably the largest poster which is visible
fully in Google Earth but it is not the largest in the World. The largest
measuring 200x100 metres was put up at Dubai but is barely legible in Google
Earth. (See: World's Largest Poster)
