yeah, confused me when i found it on streetview. it used to be on the strand, but looking there now, its a building site (or was when they drove past)

Thanks! I've been trying to explain that thing to my girlfriend who swears it was something drug-induced and doesn't actually exist

This is awesome stuff! :) I think the pictures are about 9 months old or more of my house.

I'm going to wander round my town and see how many times my car got captured parked here and there...obvious spot to check is the 2 local garages heh

It's the Dianetics book. And those are E-meters on the table. Yak did post it to #llamasoft and I felt it was worth posting here. The Mike Tyson manor is one of his as well.. :D

Must have a look at the knocking shops near work to see if anyone is emerging with a smile on their (blurred) face.

That guy's a bit behind the times with his shop - no wonder business looks like it's down ;-)

I'm just randomly trawling through areas I've visited - fascinating stuff... None of the towns I've lived in are covered (yet)

Pretty impressive how the auto-blur alogrhythm can tell the difference between a number plate and a street name.

Ah, that's what those elongated random blurs are on every image.. It's pretty brutal and gets it wrong most of the time - but this kind of task is nigh on impossible to get right anyway.

Thank you Google - this is great, I'm loving just 'walking' up streets and nosing around. Now just cover some more towns..

i love the detail, especcially showing the windows open, nets blowing etc. im having fun zooming random houses atm and spotting tiny details. things like the block paving patterns etc. house numbers on doors, what would usually be fuzzy is sharp
