Google Maps' vacation photos

Travel

You think you've taken some unusual photos in your travels. Check out these -- from Atlanta, the Southeast and the world -- captured by Google Maps' photographers.

On assignment in Atlanta, the Google Maps camera shot these Little Five Points artists using a police-reserved parking spot as a staging area for their work.

The camera can catch people having fun...

...And it can spur some friendly greetings, including waves at the Google camera car from these outdoor diners in Raleigh.

The table's turned on the Google camera car as it rolls through Miami.

If you're on vacation and happen by this Florida market, you can buy fruit, boiled peanuts and, umm, some mighty strange creatures.

You also can find weird critters if you're traveling abroad. These stuffed animals apparently are taking a break from their farm chores in the Netherlands.

...Blue dogs in paintings, and, in Italy, little pink dogs (for you and me).

Humans do some strange things, too, no matter where you travel. If you were a cop near this French parking lot, where would you put the traffic ticket?

When it comes to traffic, there's nothing like elephant rush hour in Nairobi.
