I think it's the oddities in those very remote locations that are actually kind of disturbing. Usually, the surroundings are a very normal-looking downtown or residential area, or in other cases it's some location out in the middle of nowhere. The thing that really struck me the most about each of the places I found was how unexpected the sighting was. Unexpectedly Weird Places on Google Street View If you're prepared to be surprised by the high strangeness of the world, please read on. In this article, I would like to share nine of the weirdest oddities that I've come across in all different parts of the world, during my travels in Street View. Every now and then, I will experience a very surreal moment when I spot an extremely odd or unusual object or situation that got captured by the Google Street View team. I've strolled down cobblestone streets in Italy, cruised along the mountainous shoreline of northern California, and creeped along the quiet streets of abandoned towns.

I have to say that I have been on some really cool adventures in Google Street View. I think that there are a lot of online travelers here at MakeUseOf, as evidenced by Saikat's article about tracking down interesting movie locations, and Angela's article about experiencing amazing railway journeys online. Meanwhile, I satisfy my travel hunger by settling into Google Maps, switch to satellite view, and try to find some of the most amazing and wonderful locations in the world to explore.
