Food for thought.

We are often treated with photos that represent locations that are far from our "normal life" views. On some of these shots I am intrigued or simply wonder ...where they were shot! We can describe it "This was shot in Timbuctu" but it can be a bit of a chore to resolve where some of these locations might be.

What I offer, for thought or discussion, if it may be found interesting to post a link to indicate location information. This could be a Google Maps link, MapQuest, or even a local website that could provide additional insights. MANY of you do this in some form or another. I wanted to a) recognize it and b) encourage it and c) provide you with a couple examples from my postings Planes or New Hampshire Calm Base.

In my case I just used Google Maps. It's a great little service, but only covers North America currently. In that it is in Beta, it's natural to expect that it will broaden. You can use the slider bar on the left side to "Zoom Out" to see the location in a larger context.

Anyway .. this isn't a Google commercial ...just an opportunity to push forward an idea in it's infant stage.

i use yahoo maps, use everything else of googles, didn't know google had maps, thanks Rob...

Google Maps (www.maps.google.com) was released to beta Feb 8. It has some pretty good tools for locating features using google-familiar searches, representing its findings on a map. They do good work.

A great idea Rob, I support your suggestion!
