Google street view Bear Mountain Bridge Rd between Peekskill and Garrison, NY. Middle of the bridge.

Crys was able to replicate.

Holy fuck, that is mind-blowing! So beautiful. How did you find this?

On a similar note, not REALLY a glitch, but has anyone seen this rainbow-plane that landed in Bushwick?

I wonder if there is some collection of gmap glitches out there. I'm going to start a collaborative map :)

I'm going to Garrison tomorrow morning and I'm driving through this bridge, and I wanted to see the view in advance haha.

i saw that once and explored the route before/after trying to figure
out what the cause was...

if you go west a bit, then north when you get off the bridge, you get this:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Bear+Mountain+Bridge+Rd+between+Peekskill+and+Garrison,+NY&hl=en&ll=41.321932,-73.991965&spn=0.10984,0.133896&sll=40.676472,-73.979187&sspn=0.887361,1.071167&t=h&hq=Bear+Mountain+Bridge+Rd+between+Peekskill+and&hnear=Garrison,+Philipstown,+Putnam,+New+York&fll=41.29651,-73.933868&fspn=0.109882,0.133896&z=13&layer=c&cbll=41.321932,-73.991965&panoid=RaCqixEamCd2_zq6okaVUg&cbp=12,78.46,,0,35.65

which makes me think that it was just really, really foggy that day,
wreaking havoc on the auto gain control code/algorithms behind the
stitching program, so in the end it just took an image of solid gray
and converted it to noise.

you can see this effect if you take a picture in a dark space and then
run it through "equalize" in photoshop.

fog: the street view killer.
