I have to stay away from it, or I'll just keep exploring. It's utterly fascinating.

The last time I was at my parents' house, I showed my 88 year old mother the house she used to live in as a child in a small town in Arizona in Street View. She was blown away that that was possible. All it took was the address, and there it was. We looked at it from all angles. Made her day.

... or is the person compiling these images doing that?

There are some interesting shots there, in any event.

Google Earth Street View is pretty good at blocking out faces and license plates.
