7 Absolutely Bizarre Google Maps Street View Images

2. Finland’s “Silent People” – The Field of 1000 Scarecrows

At coordinates 65.09298,28.90316 along Highway 5 in Suomussalmi, Finland, Google Maps captures what looks like a gathering of zombies or a cult awaiting instructions. In reality, it’s “The Silent People” (Hiljainen kansa), an art installation by Finnish artist Reijo Kela featuring nearly 1000 human-like figures with hay heads and donated clothing. The artist refuses to explain the meaning, preferring viewers to interpret the eerie scene themselves—and yes, you can even spend a free night in the nearby hay barn if you’re brave enough.
