Streets Ahead

By now everyone will probably be aware of Google Street view but for those of you that might have missed it - check out the above to be totally amazed.

It was fun to look on Google Earth and try and spot your roof in the aerial photos but now you can actually go for a virtual wander around the streets and find blurry faced image of yourself standing on the street corner. Anyone had any luck finding anything unusual in the Southside yet - I had a lot of fun (sad I know) darting around the streets trying to find out where I'd parked my car. Its given me the idea of setting some kind of southside virtual treasure hunt - might look at that for the festival in May.

Anyway thought it would be of interest - we are going to look at using the Street view to help locate things in our posts so look out for more links in future and if you see a funny looking van with what looks like a ray gun on the roof - give them a cheesy grin and two thumbs up and you might become a Street view icon.

PS - there is a man across the road who has been feeding pigeons from a seemingly never ending bag of bread crumbs for about 40mins - he has a huge grin on his face, so do the pigeons.
