When Google began taking pictures of the entire planet, they must have known that they would snap a few oddities. Try as we might, we can't stop laughing at a few of them. There's also some real beauty to be found, some amazement and a whole lot of random. Come and take an odd international tour with us.

If you're keen, well, here are some of the notable ones:

What is going on here is quite unfathomable. But seemingly, something fishy I'd guess. I have never seen a fish in someone's roof before, but Google did. Photo from Google Street View.

You may think you can sneak in when no one is home, but beware the Google Street Cars bearing cameras. The whole world might be watching. Fail. Photo from Google Street View.

To relax some people go to the pub. Some garden. Some like to read. This chap likes his sitting on the roof. Photo from Google Street View.

This mountain range in Canada looks uncannily like a human face. Photo from Google Street View.

You may think your roof is a private place to tan your, erm, private parts. Newsflash: it's not. Photo from Google Street View.

You shouldn't pee behind your car when the Google Street View car drives past either. Photo from Google Street View.

This is even how The Stig dresses when he's in meetings. Photo from Google Street View.

We seem to have 9 UFOs that Google Street View managed to find. Erm... were they driving around Area 51? Photo from Google Street View.

This was a major hit on Valentine's Day, surprisingly enough. The island, called Galesnjak, is off the Croatian coast. Photo from Google Street View.

The first Google Earth alphabet was put together by Rhett Dashwood, an Australian designer. Evidently there is not much to do when you live in a giant desert. Photo from Google Street View.

Seen any good ones we've missed out on, why not send it in to pics@gotravel24.com

Oh that's some heavy

Oh that's some heavy criticism!


This is travel journalism?

Yet another example of Travel24 staff's firm commitment to never, ever, under any circumstances, leave their desks in search of a story, nor pick up a telephone and ask a question to anyone who might be able to shed more like than a Google query.
This might belong on a Tech24 page, but not a travel page - someone crapping behind a car and a shark on a roof. Are you guys insane? Simon Williamson, I would blame you, but you can only do what your boss asks, and if he is stuck at Beluga chowing sushi, what can you do? Still, mate. Doesn't the world travel evoke images of moving more than just the mouse?
