Reminds me of the road that goes up Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. Not a road you want to drive on if you are afraid of heights.

Yea... Don't expect me to be on those roads anytime soon. Although they're both beautiful.

Trippy!

Kind of a cool old station in Toledo (The Uruguayan Toledo, not the Spanish one).

To hide the cars the cameras are mounted on, and also avoid having a black section there due to the fact that they have no downwards pointing cameras, Google has the bottom of every street view image made from parts around that section, which sometimes includes cars and the like. From my observations, that is.

Active blackout signals for a streetcar in Toronto.

I'd like to stay at this place, I hope the trains passing by aren't too loud from inside though.
