Google street view photos. But the thing that always surprises me about these photos circulating is how someone finds them, or in this case, how someone finds the right images to curate for a blog. I would think it takes hours and hours just to find one interesting random image that street view designers left in Google Maps but to find enough to flesh out a blog has got to take a lot of work. Unless there is some place to go where one could just see street view images of people versus streets, building structures, and parked cars. And I would also assume that Google would quickly remove images when certain images start to go viral (e.g., street view images of street-based sex workers).

Of course, right after I posted that I decided to look at an area in Madrid in La Latina where there is always an interesting mix of people, and I find this oddity in the street view:

Some of these are fantastically 'composed' (and a great idea for a blog, though as danielmak says, it must take bleedin ages to find candidate images). There's probably an art book waiting to be published using this idea as a basis. Get a major Enrique Metinides vibe from a few of the street accident scenes.

Oh wow, this is fascinating indeed and I've only looked at the first page so far. That street football scene is indeed ravishingly shot, quite by accident.
I particularly like the one near the bottom of page 1 right now, of the flock of sheep by some high moorland road – it's the way the shepherd seems not to have noticed the approaching Streetview car, nor have any of the dozens of sheep, but the dog has.

Belatedly inspired by this I've studied the current Street View photo of my house and pinned it down to 18 March 2019, approx. between the hours of 10am and 11am.
This is based on:
Google says it was in March 2019
The recycling bags are out, so it was a Monday.
There were only two recycling Mondays in March 2019.
One of them is ruled out because of the combination of cars outside my house (we have a car share that meets at my house).
The direction of the shadows, and the fact the recycling hadn't been emptied, places it c. 10-11am.

I saw the google car coming towards me up a back lane near our campus a couple of years ago but it hadn’t updated to that view last time I looked.
There was a view camera on top of our old building linked to the weather station so pals in France got into the odd habit of emails discussing which cycling gear I was wearing that day. Or how many pickets we had out on the two or three occasions we were on strike.
