With the new database and a much more detailed lowest resolution earth to look at, we can really see lots of abstract art pieces created by the various land and water and other features. If you see something that can be cropped down nicely to fill the viewer frame, show it to the rest of us here. There are some already placemarked in the BBS than can also be imported here. Best with roads and borders off.
EDIT: And don't miss this wonderful collection by Seer. And this by trvlnman
Favourite screenshots in Google Earth is another great one started by JosieNorden.
More from RWFG
EDIT: I just came across this thread of Earth Art locations (post # 3182 !!! - now that in Keyhole/Google Earth terms is ancient  ). These were created with .eta files, predecessor to .kml and .kmz. They had to be converted to be saved and in the process lost all tilt, altitude and direction data. Only location was retained. So they will look nothing like they originally did, also because imagery has changed in many places. But zooming in and rotating and tilting may give an idea why they were originally selected as art.
EDIT: There is another collection here by mudshark

Here's another to get things started off..
--------------------
The Schutzstaffel (German for "Protective Squadron"), abbreviated SS, grew from a small paramilitary unit to an elite force that served as the Führer's "Praetorian Guard," the Nazi Party's "Shield Squadron" and a force with as much political influence as the regular German armed forces. Built upon the Nazi racial ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, was primarily responsible for the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." Barack Obama - 10/30/2008

Here is another batch. I think I've found a couple Pollocks - you'd think they'd be easy but I'm finding it tricky.
This is more fun than hunting for funerals
