Remember Occupy Wall Street? From a purely visual perspective, thoughts of that late-2011 social movement ought to conjure up images full of flourescent posterboard signage, folksy acoustic guitars, horn speaker activists, and a host of other colorful characters.

Now, imagine that scene inside the US Capital Building, and you’ll have a good idea of what Taiwan’s Sunflower Student movement looks like.

For about three weeks now, Taiwanese students have been camping inside the premises of the island’s Legislative Yuan (think congress or parliament) in protest against a trade agreement with China that was allegedly passed without due procedure.

While scouring the internet for reporting on the Sunflower Movement ought to bring up a number images documenting the incidents (including an ongoing livestream), last night, photographer Nung Yao-lin uploaded a photo sphere of the occupation onto Google Street View – and it’s way cool.
