A while back I was at home talking to Pepe when we saw the street view bus roll down my street, we rushed out the front to wait for it to return hoping to get on there.

We waited, they came down the street we smiled for the camera they drove of.

Unfortunately it was around the time when Google had their controversy about scanning for peoples computer networks as they were doing street view so we thought our efforts were lost.

The picture is of the crowd in Vancouver before the riot after the Stanley cup game. This is the crowd before the riot. Put your cursor anywhere in the crowd and double-click. Keep double clicking and see what happens.

There's probably an easier way, but if you have maps.google.com open and have zoomed to the appropriate place, in the left hand panel (where you can ask for direction etc.) there is a menu that says "Directions Search nearby Save to map more"
Click on more and the Streetview option is under that.

The scary thing is how easy it is to find people.
A quick look at the inset in the bottom right hand corner of your pic and it took me 5 mins to find your house (helps that I knew your suburb ).

Did you notice how if your directly in front of the house it shows you blokes standing in the carport, but if you move slightly up the street you are out the front flipping the bird. They must have realised you desperately wanted to be in their pics

We were down the side of the house when we saw them go up the street then we nut and bolted out the front, fortunately there's a tiny little dead end beside the house next door which they had to drive into, hence you can only see us from the one angle one frame.

I like the way the Blur out the faces (so I don't scare children) but not the gestures
