Sometimes, at work, I like to go on a little holiday. I use Google Street View to go on self-directed walking tours from my desk.

I often go and hang around Bradford, UK, because I got a book in a bargain bin once about historic building types in the area. So, I just like to see what's going on there every now and then. They update Street View sometimes so that keeps it interesting.

Today I'm in Stockport, UK. I followed a bus down the street until it came to a junction, and then it disappeared. Some of the buildings there are very florid. I like all the different street levels there. I also like the lolly shop near the town centre.

Kazan, Russia is a good place to visit on Street View. There's beautifully kept historic buildings plus huge grey apartment complexes.

Oh, wow! you can go to Ulaanbaatar!
