Street View of the Week
Don't bother waiting for the green light here. This confusing mess of traffic lights is actually a sculpture by Pierre Vivant in Canary Wharf, London.The sculpture is over eight metres tall and has 75 fully working traffic signal heads. Vivant says that,
"The Sculpture imitates the natural landscape of the adjacent London Plane Trees, while the changing pattern of the lights reveals and reflect the never ending rhythm of the surrounding domestic, financial and commercial activities."

Open Street Maps Street View
Sightwalk have some nice interactive panoramic images of the Rheinpark in Cologne. They are using Open Street Maps to show the location of the images. Like Street View it is possible to navigate from one image to the next via arrow links embedded directly in the panoramas.
Hopefully this will spur Google to release Street View in Germany soon.

If you like this kind of thing then you will love GeoGreeting.com. GeoGreeting lets you send a message to a friend using letters found on Google Maps.
Alternatively, you could try MapMSG. MapMSG lets you send a smoke signal message on Google Maps!
