Google street view

3D is so ancient, as a child we watched the films at the local cinema, the real answer is IMHO Holography, now that will be something to see

 

[Montefalco]

Holographic television? That would be interesting, although could be slightly off-putting

Well was anyone in Scotland when Google went fillming? Who want's to admit to being the horse?

Way cool. Here's one of the building we moved to. Must have been last Fall, as the building renovation has been completed on that part. Now they are working on the opposite side (where we are). We're up on the eighth floor. The building was originally build 52 years ago by the neice of George and Ira Gershwin. Leave it to us to instinctively find a building with musical roots!

Have a walk around the area. It is just glorious now with everything in bloom. And oh - all those mansions! Just love walking our little Pez and meeting new peeps.

Gee Margaret, it's amazing how some people get their kicks

Yes isn't it Colin, very strange if you ask me.


Stephen why does your link take me to West Bromwich in the UK?

It doesn't look like Canada, or am I doing something wrong.

Is that a space ship overhead, they have arrived :wave:

I posted that link to the pliers back on page 1 of this thread!

 

[JHC]

Ha, another red herring, you are one of them

 

[greatcyber]

Not sure about the map link (duh?) but the link at the bottom did take me to the street view now. The mansions are on Kensington and surround streets.

 

[Dorsetmike]

Yep it's working now.

 

[marval]

Ah yes, that is better Stephen.

If you take a "virtual walk around" it is truly beautiful, even in Fall when these images seem to have been taken.

 

[marval]

Hi Stephe,

I took the walk round, it looks lovely.

It's so peaceful and it just "feels" so nice. Now to meet a rich old person with no family to adopt me, lol.

Sounds like a plan, if you find a nest of them, throw one this way.

 

[greatcyber]

Sure Mike, be happy to, lol. I've been showing this link to everyone in my family. It's pretty amazing what you can see by scrolling in and out, dragging the pointer all over the city, into Old Montreal, just by double clicking on the streets and then looking in all directions. Fabulous technology!

Oh wow, my old stomping grounds. My grandparents lived on Ste. Catherine, near Kensington. I spent many a day in Westmount park. Many of the old homes now are owned by business concerns. Things have changed. ATB!
