Roaming The Google Streets: Road Roller Sculpture, Vancouver

While roaming the Google Streets found this red road roller sculpture at the intersection of Thornton Street and National Avenue in Vancouver, Canada.

The sculpture installed in 2004 is an art work of artist Richard Prince and shows an old Buffalo Springfield road roller with silhouette figures of road workers. The road roller was used in 1930s/40s for construction of roads in the city.

About This Blog

The internet has merged the whole world into a large global village.

Google Street View has gone one step further; it has made it possible to roam the alleys and streets of this global village (or atleast some areas of it).

Presently the Street Views are available for few countries, however the list of areas/countries covered is increasing and in not too distant future Google Street View is likely to cover the major populated areas of the World. (Current Coverage Map)

Google Street View provides a panoramic 360 degree view which allows every one to see the surroundings as if one is physically present at the spot.

Through this blog I am sharing the interesting, strange things/places seen by me while Roaming the Google Streets.
