I was thinking we had all the pre-wedding information possible on the blog. And then Street View happens.
Street View is a new feature to Google Maps that lets you see the road of certain cities at eye level and have a good look around. Why is this important to our wedding blog? Because you can see all the junctions on our directions in Leeds. Instead of having a just a map, you can see what the road looks like and what buildings there are around. Fantastic for navigating your way around a city you hardly know on a Saturday morning! All that time I spent taking photos of the streets and then this thing comes along.
So, to get a view of a particular junction on one of our route-planned maps of Leeds you can click on the camera that appears next to the direction on the left hand side. Here is the link for the start of the journey from Leeds Town Hall to the Church. You can then either click on other junctions to see what they look like or follow the journey (it's in blue) from one end to the other. One reason I think this is great is because people will be able to see the junction they need to turn on to get to The Light car park.
Two things though: it's a car that takes the pictures and you shouldn't walk down the middle of the road. Secondly, there are not pictures available for Leicester. You're on your own there.

Will there be a pre-wedding shaving ceremony?
Not sure what that has to do with Street View but the photo on the index is pretty old. I'm cleanly shaven at the moment, having learned the joy of an electric shaver.
