Google captures a lively image outside The Grove pub
Perhaps he's just very happy? Or maybe he's spotted the google camera and is performing? What do you reckon? Google street view technology offers 'panoramic views from streets all over the world'. It was launched in the US in 2007 and started in the UK in 2009. Car mounted cameras capture the images - a trike and snowmobile are also used for harder to reach places.
