Those Google photos are AMAZING. In SF they are re4ally highdefinition. You can see (and easily recognize) people on some of the street corners near Fisherman's Wharf. The have pics of NYC too but they don't seem to be as clear.

By the way, you don't need Google Earth for this view. Just use Google maps search engine and put in an address. If it's a city, they will have a tab for a street view.

It's amazing to think there are people riding around in cars taking these 360 photos of almost everywhere!
