Saturated Street Scenes — Radio Free Babylon

Makes You Think All The World's a Sunny Day

It’s a great big world out there, and Google Street View is an incredible (and creepy) innovation that lets us explore it from our computers, bumping up the saturation to imagine it better than it is, cropping to eliminate the periphery and creating our own versions. Sometimes we'll throw in an element or two just to make it more dreamlike or surreal. We can find and frame scenes all day long. It's an odd hobby, but someone had to do it. On occasion, we send our hero, Major Mike Adams, out to places we find interesting. We often send him to churches that have shared our comics. Then we send that church a free copy of one of our books for their church library.

There is no "point" to this. No "message." It's just fun. We consider it "art." And that makes us kinda pretentious.

Bustle In Your Hedgerow

You never know what you're going to find when you travel the world on Google Maps. In our latest Saturated Street Scene, the Google Car cruised down Hythe Road in Hythe, England and spied Major Mike Adams behind his beautifully hedged home as a horse and rider rode by while a stealth bomber flew overhead. Taken in August, 2009. Click the image to go to the actual view on Google Maps.

All Saints Epicopal - Atlanta, TX

Sharer of a recent comic. That's NASA test pilot Major Mike Adams back on the handicap ramp to the church office while a stealth bomber heads for the Arkansas border. The omnipresent Google car, seer of all and respecter of no one, drove by in June of 2011. Click the image to see the actual Google Maps street view.
