(Google has improved the definition of images since this was posted, if anything it gets weirder close up).
Edit 2024: Google Sightseeing seems a bit broken, I hope it will be fixed. Here is a much clearer photo from Geograph of this little oddity.
Hi Tim,
Can you elaborate on your problems with Firefox? I use Firefox and Safari on mac and can see no problems with the site…
Cheers,
