Google Streetview

[Theseus]

An interesting collection of images taken from around the world by the streetview cars.

Some very arty, others disturbing ...

Very interesting.

I liked the horses behind the graveyard, and the fact that they've pixelated the heads of ladies in niqabs.

Me and my partner are immortalised on Google Streetview – taking a photo of the Google car, I was doing a book about CCTV which mentioned Streetview and privacy, the driver saw me taking a photo, so drove over to us so we could get a closer look.

I've seen the car, but we're not on streetview - when I saw it, the place I saw it was already covered. Looking at the junction now, I can see that there are views from different days, because the weather changes, and some roadworks vanish. So I don't know if they'll ever replace the shot we should be in. We did wave, so perhaps they are refusing to update it and give us the glory!

I think they just pixelated the eyes...
