Google has once again added a stack of new Street View images to its amazing voyeur tool, bringing a selection of the world’s most popular city parks to its database.
As you can see from the idyllic portrayal of urban life in the image above, London’s Kensington Gardens is one of the new hotspots now available in Street View, with other parks from New York, Tokyo, New Zealand and the US captured by Google’s camera equipped tricycle.
Of particular interest is the New York High Line Elevated Park, which is a crazy strand of grass built atop one of the city’s derelict raised railway lines. [Parks of the World via Google]









Oh come on thats not fair… they haven’t even got it working on the roads where I live yet, let alone parks. Our “Data Protection Commissioner” (aka grumpy old man thats scared of the internet) told Google to delete all the pictures they took of Guernsey (where I live) and redo them all before they’d even managed to upload them. :\
Well obviously. You can’t have tax exiles having their privacy invaded.
