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

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.
