The images were captured by the google Street View trike. The Trike was designed by Google Engineer Daniel Ratner to capture images from locations around the world otherwise unattainable by Google's Street View car.
Last October, Google unveiled the Street View trike, which was designed to go to places cars couldn't go. Google says that the interest in the project has caused them to examine sending the Street View trike to other finalists despite not winning.
Dubbed "GoogleTrike," the pimped out pedaling three-wheel bike goes where cars just can't. There's a lot of land to cover out there, and Google is taking nominations for the next place in the U.S.to be photographed with GoogleTrike.
