My grandfather passed away a few years ago. Google caught him raking leaves in the front yard a year prior. It’s nice to visit him once in a while.

Sometimes images from the past will disappear.

Right now it's Aug 2025/Jun 2022/Dec 2019/Sept 2017 but come back a few months later and Dec 2019 has disappeared. Don't know if it's licensing issues or what.

Is this your experience with aerial, or Street View level imagery? Both?

Thanks!
