Today not an unusual sighting, but something I do not like. Trucks filling gaps. I keep a safe distance with my adaptive cruise control. Trucks tend to fill the gap so that I slow down and accelerate and waste energy.
Now you may think that this highway has been covered many times, even just recently. The last time was even not long ago. And could I not wait for a weekend with less traffic and more sun as the direction is North ?
All this is correct.
The reason I covered the highway again is that there is a new fence with anti wildlife gates.
The last time it was not well done by a car driving fast and switching lanes.
Today there was a little sun and it was noon. Neither did I want to wait for the annoying little greens things on the trees.
For privacy no pictures.
Today I heard a woman scream for help from above.
She called her cat, I think her cat was called “help”.
My third fall in the line of duty.
Yes, you may call me an idiot.
Not every day one has to share an outback dirt road with a gyrocopter and its blades need restraining. Multiple cameras/views.
As in Mad Max.
One advantage of time-lapse photos is the option to delete mishaps, wrong turns etc.
In photography, these are called raw pictures.
Meeting an See Mapillary
If you’re lucky and depart from Glückstadt, Germany, you might encounter a cruise ship on the Elbe. I caught a ship from the AIDA fleet.
Is it allowed to picture sleeping people from behind ?
The issue here is rather the fact that these pictures are indoor imagery, which most probably violates Mapillary Terms of Use. Another issue may be (I do not know how this works exactly in 
) that although the train station may be publicly accessible, it may not be a public space, where the train station operator may have sole photography and filming authority. Hence, better avoid capturing such places for Mapillary.
let the mapillary police fine them!! xD, that can prove to court if you have a video about him running a red light (if you have a dashcam)
Mapillary meets Here
Grok:
A HERE driver (i.e., a vehicle from HERE Technologies that collects map data – often known as a “HERE True Car,” equipped with roof-mounted cameras and sensors) is a rare sight on the highway, similar to Google Street View cars or Apple mapping vehicles.There is no official or established “greeting rule” specifically for HERE drivers in any community (unlike, for example, Jeep drivers, motorcyclists, or certain car clubs who wave at each other). In forums like Reddit or mapping communities (Mapillary, OpenStreetMap), there’s also no mention of waving or flashing lights when spotting a HERE vehicle.That said, if you see one and feel excited (e.g., because you love mapping or just think it’s cool), a friendly greeting is perfectly fine and harmless – as long as it’s safe:
-
Briefly raise your hand (e.g., a small wave from the steering wheel) or a nod if you’re driving side by side.
-
Short high-beam flash (briefly flashing your headlights) – this is commonly used as a friendly signal on German highways (similar to how truck drivers greet each other).
-
But don’t overdo it: No big gestures that could distract you, and only if traffic conditions allow.
The driver in the HERE car is usually a professional focused on data collection and probably won’t wave back – but it might still make them smile.The Mapillary link you shared likely shows exactly such a photo of a HERE vehicle on the A9 or similar (at the coordinates near the Thuringia/Bavaria border). These sightings are always a highlight for mapping enthusiasts!If you want to spot these cars more often: HERE sometimes publishes driving schedules on their website ( HERE Car Drive Schedule | Map Data | Locations | HERE ), but in Germany, they’re usually out sporadically. Have fun with your next spotting! 
Blurring serves to protect data privacy, but what if, in the Church of the Fourteen Saints, one of the saints is carrying his head in his hand, and automatic blurring fails?
Non proprietary imagery meets propietary imagery*
Thats pretty crazy I wonder what the odds of that are lol
One side effect of street view imagery is that it can easily eternalize traffic code violations. Although these are nothing unusual per se, this one is in the category “how not to park your car” and just gets my blood boiling when I see such things.
Apparently, having a garage and a parking spot in front of it is not enough for some people. No, you definitely have to park on the sidewalk and also block and endanger pedestrians. 
Shame on them 
It has happened to me several times that people were unfriendly to me while I did not know I was capturing their parking violations.
I had that too. 
However, I also experienced the opposite as well. 
People asked me if it was safe to park at a specific location. My answer most of the time is that 
I do not know 
because imho licensed drivers should know how and where to park, and it is not on me to decide for anybody. In fact, the rules are really simple. You just have to follow them. Sometimes, I get upset about people who really do know better and then I may report parking violations if my path is blocked.
I have been stopped as a pervert, as a thief, and this sunday for the first time as a poacher. This is no job for the faint of heart.
