The Craziest Google Maps Images
The Pigeon Cult
Image Source/ Google MapsNow this clearly took some coordination to pull off... or it's just the annual meeting of the pigeon-lovers society. Who knows? Anyways, this is one of the most iconic Google Maps images on this list, and probably gave the photographer a good scare too!Advertisement
Penny Farthing Penguin
Image Source/ Google MapsYou really couldn't have planned this one or made it up. This fella is living his best life taking his pet penguin out for a ride on his hilarious penny farthing. Legend says that this guy still darts about the street with his bird-companion, if only we could see him!Advertisement
Ditching the Car
Image Source/ Google MapsOuch! Probably not the time you want someone taking photos of you. Looks like someone must've took the turn too fast on one of those deathly dangerous Scotland highland routes. Luckily for him there's people around to help! What a lucky day for the Google Maps driver.Advertisement
Something's Fishy
Image Source/ Google MapsNow why would you interrupt this bear's dinner like this? Clearly it was getting all excited about munching on it's freshly-caught fish dinner before the Google Maps drone rudely interrupted this moment. Seriously though, I'm starting to think this must be a dangerous job.Advertisement
Anonymous Cow
Image Source/ Google MapsThank goodness someone is finally taking cow privacy seriously. It's not right that humans are giving the right to anonymity while cows' faces are plastered all over the internet. Thankfully there's no beef with this one, given that someone respectfully blurred this cow's face.Advertisement
Beware the... Smoker
Image Source/ Google MapsImagine being a postman in this suburb of Manhattan and being greeted by this hostile-looking smoker on your mailbox. Well, you just might want to quit your job right there, or offer him for a fight. But seriously... this can't be comfortable, can it?Advertisement
Peeing in Public
Image Source/ Google MapsLet this be a lesson to all you that think it's acceptable to go pee in broad daylight. Even though you think you might be alone, there are eyes EVERYWHERE, as proven by this very generous (and invasive) Goole Maps driver. A very precarious position to be caught in!Advertisement
Hungry Horse
Image Source/ Google MapsOkay so who told this guy that Google Maps was making a drive by this day, because there's no way that he would just chill outside of his home like this all the time, right? This horse-headed guy is happily munching on his banana while the Google Maps driver snaps cheeky pics of him.Advertisement
Frightful Scarecrows
Image Source/ Google MapsDo you think this farmer knows how scarecrows actually work? Or is it something else he's trying to scare away? Whatever it is, I don't like it one bit. These dark figures give us the creeps, looks like a group of zombies hanging out in a farmer's field.Advertisement
The Battle of Jumpsuits
Image Source/ Google MapsThere's no explanation as to why these two were darting around in these big, orange jumpsuits, or why one man's ankle looks almost broken, but it definitely doesn't look like a fair fight. While one has a golf club, the other just has his fists. Who won I wonder?Advertisement
TARDIS
Image Source/ Google MapsThe Doctor should've definitely been more careful when he parked his TARDIS in London... does he not know invasive Google Maps drivers dart around here? One of them actually managed to get inside the TARDIS for a closer look... it looks as magical as expected.Advertisement
Brisk Summer Walk
Image Source/ Google MapsThis cockatoo very kindly took it's irritating pet human out for a walk on a nice summer's day in Portland. If we could see the man's face I'm sure he'd look very happy and extremely grateful that his Cockatoo owner was kind enough to take him for a stroll!Advertisement
An Apple a Day
Image Source/ Google MapsUp next on "don't try this at home" we have the classic bow, arrow and apple trick. It's a shame that Google Maps only takes still images because I bet we're all keen to find out what happened next in this experiment. Maybe we can find it on a biggest fails YouTube compilation.Advertisement
Many a Man
Image Source/ Google MapsSo what do we think... a set of triplets wearing the same outfit, or the same man photobombing every shot Google Maps are taking? Whichever it is, this fella knew what he was doing. If you actually go on Google Maps to look, you'll see he appears six times!Advertisement
Santa's Lost Reindeer
Image Source/ Google MapsDoes someone wanna tell Santa that Pluto is hanging out in Norway? Looks like he must've lost his way on Christmas Eve when delivering to the Norwegian little ones. They must've had quite the fright bumping into this reindeer on their commute to work.Advertisement
The Stig on his Holidays
Image Source/ Google MapsIf you've ever watched Top Gear you'll know exactly who this all-white-sporting test-driver is: The Stig. It appears that he might be enjoying his holidays here by a loch in Scotland, or maybe he's got lost from the filming crew. Anyhow, he clearly never parts with that racing suit.Advertisement
Speeding Ticket
Image Source/ Google MapsCaught red handed there Google! While driving down this lane, the Google Maps vehicle was clearly breaking the law with a speed of 37 mph in a 30 zone. Not good really is it. Lesson for future, don't speed when you know you're on camera (and you're the one filming it!).Advertisement
The Unused Batcave
Image Source/ Google MapsNot really sure how Google managed to get access to this one, but anyway. What you're looking at is the set used in the blockbuster DC film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice... just a while after it was used. Interesting that the space now looks abandoned.Advertisement
Picasso in the Park
Image Source/ Google MapsA nice wholesome addition to the list. This London-based artist was just finishing up a spectacular painting of London's iconic Hyde Park, right as the Google Maps (biker?) was riding by, snapping all the local roads and scenery. I wonder how much he sold that for!Advertisement
Crazy Yoga Lady
Image Source/ Google MapsYou alright there love? This woman was clearly enjoying a cliff-side view while doing a spot of early-morning yoga. The only thing is she could've chosen a location away from a main road! You don't know what multi-billion dollar companies are around taking photos...Advertisement
Serving Shade
Image Source/ Google MapsClearly the Swedes know how to have a party... look at them serving serious shade on the streets of Sweden. But for real, I don't know what's going on, but I hope there's no serious cases of Stockholm Syndrome here. Perhaps it's just a crazy, fashion trend over there.Advertisement
Icelandic Tea
Image Source/ Google MapsFirstly, I wanna know what this tea is laced with. Jokes aside, this is a nice touch from an Icelander wanting to give passers-by a spot of hot tea in the chilly climate of Iceland. Even better served by someone (or something?) wearing a bright orange snow suit.Advertisement
Angry Birds
Image Source/ Google MapsYou could've told me that this was a Pterodactyl and I would've believed you. This swooning huge bird clearly has an angst against Google Maps cameras and comes for the angry dive towards the lens. Fair to say I won't be taking my camera to the Galapagos Islands anytime soon.Advertisement
Grass Skiing
Image Source/ Google MapsAnd they said it was impossible. Check this guy out. Despite being so close the snow-capped peaks of Mont Blanc, this avid skier fancied a bit more of a challenge, so took to the grassy banks opposite. Well, it looks like he's managing, with only a few grass stains on his bottoms.Advertisement
Dentist on the Move
Image Source/ Google MapsNow have you ever seen a mobile dentist like this? It seems that the people of Dhaka are so busy with their commutes to work that they must get their teeth checked on the way to avoid being one minute late! I wonder what kind of insurance is needed for a mobile business like this...Advertisement
Fish out of Water
Image Source/ Google MapsWhy they didn't take of the snorkelling gear to wonder the streets is beyond me, unless these two guys actually like darting about in wetsuits and flippers. Whichever it is, you can't deny that they look suave and probably got a lot of attention on their walk.Advertisement
Washed-Up Sea Monster
Image Source/ Google MapsIt's not everyday you see a washed-up sea monster off the coast of San Diego, but here we are. Well, it's either a sea monster or an unfortunate guy covered in seaweed over his wet suit. Hopefully some generous passer-by put this swimmer out his misery!Advertisement
Caught Red Handed
Image Source/ Google MapsThis sneaky doggy has been caught rounding up a bunch of discarded bagels for a munch on. It's clear that something must've caught his attention during his exciting feast, but he also looks very concerned that he's been caught committing this mischievous act.Advertisement
See Ya Later...
Image Source/ Google MapsI'm convinced that the Google Maps cameraperson saw this alligator and knew they had to get a closer pic. Someone give this person a pay rise! Looks like the alligator is trying to be sneaky, hanging out around some canoes in the Florida Everglades.Advertisement
