Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s still the 14th of February for another hour in some time
zones, so we’d like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s
Day with this
heart-shaped swimming pool in Belgium!

Yes okay, that’s a stretch. In reality the only places to
actually use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC-12 UTC
minus 12 hours are the uninhabited American territories of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Island Baker Island
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howland_Island Howland
Island in the Pacific Ocean (links are to Wikipedia).
As for the islands themselves,
Baker has no coverage unfortuantely, but 68 kilometres to the
north,
Howland is captured with excellent quality imagery.

Not that there’s much to see of course. In fact other than using
UTC-12, the only likely reason you might have heard of Howland
Island is that this is where noted American aviator Amelia Earhart
famously http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart#Final_approach_to_Howland_Island
failed to reach during her attempt to make a circumnavigational
flight in 1937.
