*** Human Behavior on Street View ***

A collection of unusual, funny, working or just plain iconic behavior found on SV.  Add your Human Behavior finds! A link isn't absolutely required, but please tell us where you found it! I'll start with some examples in Russia and E. Europe (I enhanced some for clarity).

Selling potatoes in Kyrgyzstan.


Selling potatoes in Magadan, E. Russia.



A family walk across the river from the infamous
Vorkuta Gulag, Russia. Abandoned decades ago.



Africans in Zaporizhia, Ukraine. I wonder where 
they are from.


Walking from the hospital in Pskov, Russia.



Magadan, Far East Russia, one of the most tragic cities on earth. It was the transit point to the USSR's worst Gulags,
the gold and uranium mines of the Kolyma region. It seemed appropriate to find a man burying something.



Hauling wood in a Roma neighborhood of route 704B, Cârstieni, Romania.
One of the most interesting roads I've toured on Street View.

Oh I do love and will always come back to your eclectic threads. 
Just found this guy performing in a back street of Colombo. Its good to see them out of the touristy areas and putting on a show for the local's.

Just like a mobile petting zoo.........not.

Aw, thanks, farceur! Good to see you. I'm ashamed to admit I had to look up Colombo - I forgot where that is! Sri Lanka. What's he doing? To me, it looks like he's got cooking pots...

Fun post!

Grab a whiskey at Simon LeGree's near Burnt Ranch in Northern California, then head outside for some RC car racing:

G'day scraps. I'll go the whiskey (Diane will attest to that ) but unfortunately most of us don't live near there and I live in Melbourne, Australia so I don't think I'll be there anytime soon. Also whiskey + radio controlled cars = disaster so I'll leave that to you scraps. Hope you enjoy yourself there and have one for me. Hooroo. And those pots Diane each have one cobra in them. His monkey is to his right and the bags on his left I would think hold some creatures with nasty reputations. Richo.

Hi Farceur!  I had to go back and look again...holy cow those are cobra's in the baskets (bad pun intended)!

Indeed Burnt Ranch CA is a bit off the beaten path however whiskey + radio controlled cars = LEGAL Drunk Driving!  

Here is another one from the other side of CA for you, surfing Tourmaline in Pacific Beach (San Diego):

Let's take a stroll down Candido de Oliveira St. in the hills above Rio de Janeiro...


The SV car is approached by a special greeter.




He has something in his hand. 



Yes, it's a gun, and he seems to be looking right at the SV car. Reasons I think it's a gun and not a mechanic's tool: very purposeful body language; he is holding object like a gun, not like a tool; he is coming at the SV car in both screenshots; I'm American and I know what guns look like, they're on the news all the time (a-hem). I was not able to stop the path midway between the two scenes with this man. Maybe someone else can. If you take the right turn at the "Y" you can see him still coming toward the SV car. 

EDIT: I was informed by syzygy later in this thread that the gun was blurred out at the SV location. I have no idea when or by whom.

(By the way, there are older VW cars and vans everywhere. No wonder: "They have produced over 20 million vehicles in Brazil, having been market leader for the majority of their sixty years in existence." From Volkswagen do Brasil.)

Here is another find, also involving a weapon, this time SV-on-foot in Favela Sao Carlos. There is also what appears to be a police mini-Station at the top of the street. There are other views of the knife as you proceed up the hill. The SV walker continues around the curve tot he left of the policeman and it's a very interesting tour through a narrow passageway and out to a hilltop.

Super Hero hangout.  Pierhead Bar, Voe, Shetland.   Makes me smile.

Marbles cross all cultural barriers. I keep finding them all over the house. Dhaka, Bangladesh.


Smashing brick's for roads and collecting waste oil. It's a living. Dhaka, Bangladesh.

One of my favorite Human Behavior finds is in Garberville, California. Three boys get off the bus after school, spot the SV car and run after it. One is especially persistent, waving like mad for a couple of blocks. Adorable!

(Tried multiple times to fix this, to no avail.)

Just have bumped into a picture of the day article about St. Stephen's Green, a park in the heart of Dublin pictured from above.
After looked for myself on GE, I have decided to do a walkaround in that beautiful, sunny park (good weather StreetView imagery) as in real we have a cloudy, rainy day today here in southeastern Hungary.

Started the walk from a southern point and tried to find the bridge between the lakes on the upper left when passed this guy. Before I should have went pale I realised, (fortunately) it's not that finger! (:

Since 1993 there is no Czechoslovakia anymore.

We have a Czech Republic and a Slovakia, and this is quite a huge difference for the two nations, believe me!

Cool find anyway!
Best!

..and it is scene of a quarter, that is quite in order as compared with darkest slums of Brazilian (Latin-American?) big cities.

meanwhile your gunman has totally been blurred out on SV imagery! (check instant GMaps SV!) or:


what a luck, you have saved screenshot image of the original SV scene!

There are hardly any Street View pictures in the big favelas. But in Rio de Janeiro is the main street of the favela Complexo do Alemão to explore. The police probably only enter the area with their weapons drawn.

other good location I could mention is Manaus.
I had a placemark of SV of an old man with a horrible bad-leg sitting on a poliester chair on the pavement, but can not find it up at the moment...)<

only a quite off-topic SV by now from the location:
