[brandon dean]

looks to me like a mafiya gathering of some sort. thanks to englishrussia.com for the find...brandon

Google Earth spots Russians wielding weapons outside office.



this is the original text from the englishrussia.com post:

   

Strange situation was caught up on Russian analogue of Google street view. On one of the streets of St. Petersburg city there are clearly visible people with guns in the middle of the bright day, looking like just got those guns from some office. Taking in consideration that most types of guns are illegal to own for a common person in Russia, and clearly not legal to carry it openly except while on hunting makes this bit puzzling.

and here's the actual link to check on the Russian Map service

Something good comes from Google finally

i wouldn't be surprised if the Google street view drivers start getting harassed or killed.

once these guys realize there are cars & trucks & campers driving around video-taping them ...

i saw one of their trucks on Fulton Street in San Francisco a few years ago.  Fulton Street runs along Golden Gate Park.

some guy driving slowly down the street with a camera tripod mounted to the right of the driver.  it was a pickup truck with a camper shell.

of course it may not have been Joogle, it may have been some local Artiste.

I'm amazed at the quality of those first two photos. Frightening, really.

Can't we all just go away?

the google earth cars I've seen have had their tripods mounted on the top of the cars.  I used to live in oakland, so I know exactly where you're talking about... haha I have some weird memories of golden gate park from my younger days...
