To prove this, in one shot, at the corner of Valentia and Kings Gap, as the Google camera car approaches my house, my beloved walnut tree is bare whilst a delivery van (yes I am ashamed to admit we do sometimes order groceries online) is unloaded. In the next shot, the van is gone and the tree is in full leaf. It clearly swallows supermarket vehicles and spits them out as leaves. It also turned my Citroen C8 into a far greener C3. Amazing.

Canada, last fall. Themain complaint here is that the pictures where taken during our 115 day city workers stike last spring early summer. Apparently Google are going to reshot some of the less flattering sites, because of the stike. It seems to be across the large cities and towns in Ontario. WE got street veiw in Windsor, On.

Google has invested a lot of money into this project that will probably start the change of a lot of activities, as you said viewing holiday or work destinations seeing friends and families homes in another countries even the way that we will be buying houses in the future; the start of another leap in the use of technology integrated into everyday life, it’s getting harder to remember what life was like before the internet!!
