Google Street View is a bit of a habit, perpetual voyeur that I am. I’ll often check in to see if the street view of my old apartment building still shows my elderly neighbor sunbathing topless on the sidewalk, or if the fried chicken place I once frequented still exists. However, the 9 Eyes of Google Street View is a bit more pithy than my casual nudity check-ins. This collection of seemingly random Google street images catalogs the beautiful, the weird and the sad: pregnant horses crossing a meadow, robberies, laughing children, cars on fire, prostitutes listlessly walking the side of a deserted highway, aliens and the glory of one man’s euphoric gesture. I highly recommend checking it out.

This is a completely awesome idea. I had no clue that stuff like this existed on google maps… I feel so sheltered, lol!
