The BBC reports that there is a..

“Mystery surrounding a man wearing a horse’s head who has been captured on Google’s Street View in Aberdeen.”

The man – who has become known as ‘horse-boy’ – can be seen in the Hardgate area of the city.

If you go to Google maps and look up 14 Hardgate, Aberdeen and drag the little orange man-shaped icon onto the map you will see this image.

The “mystery” relates to who this is.  While I have no idea of the person’s name I can tell you that they have white hair and appear to be a “silver surfer”.  If you move up the road and then spin the image around to look back you will see this image:

You can clearly see that the “silver surfer” had not accounted for the rear facing camera and had decided that it was time to go back and celebrate his achievement.

Well done old chap.  However next time stand still until you cannot see the Google car anymore before loosing your head.
