Hey there, time traveller!

WINNIPEG — An up-close view of almost any Winnipeg location is now only a click away.
Google Street View launched its picture view of Winnipeg Dec. 1.
The photos were recorded the images with cameras mounted on top of cars that drove through the city in early 2009
Web users can see the photos free of charge by going to any address in Google Maps and dragging the yellow Street View "pegman" icon onto the map — or try it out using the embedded map below.
For security reasons, the Street View application automatically blurs human faces and licence plates, but each image also includes a "report a problem" link where users can request to have images blurred more or removed.
Street View, launched in 2007 in the United States, is also available in areas of the U.K., Spain, Australia and Japan. Several Canadian cities, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Banff National Park and Vancouver, were added in early October 2009.
