Roaming The Google Streets: Rock

Little Arch, Oregon

I spotted today this little arch in a small sea rock along the Oregon Coast Highway. Such arches are created in the rocks due to water erosion and there is nothing unusual in this rock, but it looked nice hence I am including it here.

Beautiful Hole In The Rock

Google Street View

This hole in the rock near the New Taipei City, Taiwan, though known as Shimen Cave, is not a cave but a stone arch created by the erosion of a outcrop near the beach. The framed sea viewed through the hole looks beautiful.

Its top which is accessible by means of steps on both the sides, is a popular spot for viewing the sunset and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. At one time it was used as a gun emplacement.

Vase Rock, Taiwan

Though shaped like a mushroom, this rock is locally known as Vase Rock (or Flower Vase Rock). It is one of the most famous rock formations and a popular tourist attraction in the small coral island of Xiaoliuqiu (aka Little Liuqiu), Taiwan.

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.
