It is quite astounding some of the things "Google" come up with, and I'm sure that I haven't seen them all...!
Every day there is something new that I stumble upon, and I'm always astounded with them.
I recall many years ago having a CD programme which took me onto virtuelle tours of many things worldwide, probably the only way I'd get to them nowadays, but this Google "art project is truly amazing.

Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
