A Sky Watch with a Google Street View


Have you ever followed this car?

It's the Google Street View car!
First I followed it on my way home from work.
Then, a day later, my son in law followed it as it 'rounded the ramp near our shopping mall.
We were soooo excited to see it.
There was a threat of rain when I was behind it and the camera had a raincoat on...

Now you know how Google gets those street view maps.

What a car!
What a job!
What a world!

Have a great weekend everyone!
Keep looking forward . . .
you never know what you'll see!

  2. Strange world huh? Great new possibilities, but also a bit frightening. Sometimes i get this "Big brother is watching you" creepy feeling. But everything has pro and cons, and the great thing is to be so connected and make wonderful friends all over the planet! xx

  5. How fun is that, I did not know they do it this way.
    I love love your previous post, missed it somehow. It is very thoughtful and sweet.
    How have you been? I guess Summer is waiting for you to jump in? I am running into the last week of school, hip hip hooray. No plans the first week, just freedom, no watching at the clock all the time.
    Lots of love, have a wonderful weekend ahead ~o xx o~

    Fascinating that we can google up most streets these days.
    Love your photo treatment with the postage stamp is that from a program or did you make it yourself?

    xoxo...Gloria

  19. Cool! I've seen the Google Street View Car even up here in the boonies--the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the east side of northern California. I saw it near Georgetown, a former wild west gold-mining-cum-logging town 7 miles from our house.

    They are all over the place! Great shots.

  20. Maria!!!! YOU ARE ALMOST DONE! Will let me tell you, this was my first FULL week off. Last week I had one teacher/clerical day and the THREE days of a workshop but this week was sheer bliss getting up with NO WHERE pressing to go other than to take a walk!!!

    HAVE A MAGNIFICENT JOURNÉE DE LIBERTÉ MON AMIE!!! QUE NOTRE SEIGNEUR JÉSUS CHRIST TE BÉNISSE! Anita
