I love google maps and can spend hours navigating with the street view function! What's your favourite places on Street View?
I've heard intps love desolate places, I certainly do (allthough i love big cities also).
these are some lonely houses

Let's see some amazing places that intps find interesting!

The "Badlands Guardian" A native listening to an ipod - natural rock formation, except for the 'headphones' which is a road

I'm not much of a fan of google maps ... or street view, it hasn't helped me that much in the past because the perspectives aren't that reliable unless you make the conscious effort to not rely on them too much.

In any case... that picture you attached is pretty attractive, I like the scenery but not the 'eerie' feel... *shrug*

No favourite locations, really. I just like exploring different places.

Yandex has a their own version of Street View they call Panoramas. They have a lot more in Eastern Europe than Google. I like exploring some of the neighbourhoods in Russia and Ukraine with it.

woah, look at this insanely long beach.
a very barren place all around

my favourite place is probably new orleans, especially the french quarter there. i want to go there some day, eat cajun food, experience voodoo, listen to jazz and get drunk

Overlooking the south end of the San Joaquin Valley (Kern County). during winter. You are seeing the top of a very cold inversion. The cold air gets trapped in the San Joaquin Valley and the sun isn't strong enough to produce enough heating to mix the boundary layer out. The result is fog for days on end. It may only reach 45°F (7°C) on the valley floor while the higher elevations have mild afternoons in the low 60s (near 16°C).

Why I want to live in CA.

Why you don't want to live in CA.

Overrated, IMO. Nice, but overrated. Everything is inherently expensive, and people in general there are a bunch of tools. Washington's weather is just as good (if not better--I like rain) and has a thriving technology community. It can be expensive as well, but not California expensive.

Google Maps brought me to a large pond in Connecticut where it showed an man made wood bridge in the picture... townsfolk says the wood bridge was tore down a few years ago.

Who the hell tears down a bridge to make a pond bigger? I'm baffled by county, city, and state decisions on many construction decisions.

But then, this wouldn't have happened if I took the expressway like I-95... but traveling on highways, everything is so fast paced and no one appreciates the scenery of local establishments anymore... but that's another topic in itself altogether.
