Note that these are different than what Geoguessrs typically see. Geoguessr players are familiar with Google Street View's "odd but ugly" images: tropical forests in Russia, tank convoys in Turkey etc.

But TFA photos were selected by someone with a good eye for photography. They're beautifully composed, have clear subjects, well-timed.

Works of art vs curios.

Interesting that costumed faces are also blurred (The rabbit costume and the other masked costumes).
