Mysterious Anomaly on Google Street View

[orangenasturtium]

Out of curiosity, I decided to look up my home on Street View. I was a bit surprised to find that the photo is from 2008 but, even stranger, every time you move forward one click on the arrow, the image is from a different year, say a sunny summer day in 2017, then a rainy day in 2009, then, then spring flowers in 2012.

I've tried a few other locations and it is mostly all from the same date for each street. I could see how they might need to use the odd image from a previous year if something blocks the view but this is every single photo jumping forward and back in time.

AIBU to ask whether your Street View is a snapshot in time or a time warping collage? It's quite interesting to see how the street has changed but somewhat bizarre when front doors change colour, plants grow and shrink and scaffolding disappears as you move along the road

I've just checked ours. My late DH is getting things out of the boot of the car on the drive, and our neighbour is pushing her son in his pram. I date it at about 7 years ago. I might screenshot it just for the action shot of DH

I had our house removed as we had a van parked outside with email and phone number clearly visible. The rest of the street has been updated since but ours is still not there.

The guys driving the google car around our area had the venga boys absolutely blasting. So they must of captured a whole load of confused peoples faces 😂

Up the lane from where I live there is one of the farmers clearly putting his finger up and scowling at the camera. The inner child in me laughs everytime I see it.
