A few years ago, we were all very impressed with the guy who created this incredible chart comparing the sizes of various well-known spaceships from science fiction.
But even though that chart has a few contemporary buildings on it to offer some sense of scale, they're so dwarfed by some of the spacecraft that you don't really get to appreciate the effect. So this guy has boldly gone where no nerd has gone before by superimposing scaled images of the Enterprise-D over Google Map images of well-known American landmarks like the Pentagon, the White House, the St. Louis Arch, and others.
I particularly like the picture of the Big E looming over the Seattle skyline (the Manhattan one is good too).
