Roaming The Google Streets: Portugal

Google Street View (Click on the image for larger image.)

This giant anemone like creature floating in the sky is a sculpture at a roundabout near the beach front at Praça Cidade San Salvador (San Salvador Square), Matosinhos, Portugal.

Officially named "She Changes", it is a creation of artist Janet Echelman, and like her other major artworks, this sculpture is also made from nets woven from UV-resistant, colourfast PTFE fibre. The sculpture was commissioned in 2005 and is a tribute to the local fisherman.

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.
