This is a collection of very plain and low-resolution images taken from Google Streetview and turned into artistic and compelling images with Sagelight.
These images were interesting because no one points the camera (they were automated) and they are devoid of any sense of artistry. Making them into pictures you might take yourself is the challenge.

This image is down a long, narrow road by a number of small houses in the Canary Islands.
Some people just have a nice view.

This image is from the same 360° panorama as the previous Canary Islands picture, just moved over to the left. It was such a nice shot, it deserved another picture without the wall to the right in the first picture.
This picture points out how many great and interesting pictures can be found just off the side of the road.
The original picture seemed uninteresting, but with the green in the hills and the matching colors of the boats, it makes a good picture once the color are enhanced.

Now here is a shot where you would not begin to suspect it was a simple Google Street View image, unless you already knew.
In this picture, I'm going for the old Judges Postcard-mixed-with-antique-color look just to see how distinctly different from the original I can go and ...

60 miles north of the previous picture, this image is another great picture.
It also exemplifies Street View, but in another way - like the Elephant in Johannesburg picture, this picture shows that you don't always have to have the highway in the picture, just because it was ...

Another pleasant surprise, this picture is the type of picture with that human element that you would take on purpose.
The small size of this picture doesn't do it justice, really. The man on the right looking at the man on the pole, and all of the wires... many elements come ...

This is a picture of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York.
In this image, I made it a duotone and added a vignette to give it an older look, but not too much. I also left the red and blue neon in the lettering, but subdued.
This is a picture of the Ferry loading on Governor's Island, going back to New York.
This is only one of three Street View pictures on the entire island.
Ok, maybe not running...
But, I thought it was amusing since I was thinking that it was kind of cool that the Google Car Guy just drove into the zoo. As I turned from the elephant, in the same picture, I saw all of these children clearly reacting to the Google Car coming their ...

If there ever was an example of a great "Street View Picture" that exemplifies the idea of artistic Street View pictures, this is definitely it.
Not only is this image (once enhanced) picture perfect, but it also has the road the Google Car is driving on winding out into the ...

Since I was on Johannesburg, I took the short trip to Soweto, just to see what it looked like.
While roaming around some neighborhoods, I came across this scene.
This is a great example of how a picture can be nicely framed, even by accident. Of course, we ...

This picture unimpressive in one sense, but it is also just the type of picture we might stop and take if we're travelling around. Mostly, it's the camera's inability to balance colors and to keep colors deep that kills this picture.
Since it was a fairly mundane picture, my ...
