Is there anyone like myself that looks places up on Google Earth from photographs displayed on here.

Yes Doug, I do. I also have around 2500 of my pictures from all over the world on a site called Panoramio who upload to Google Earth.

If I'm travelling in the UK I often research places on GE after looking at photos on POE, I've booked accomdation through here too.

Hi Ruth, I also look at Google Earth before booking accommodation to check out the area.

I also have a few photos on Panoramio, but I made up a freebie web site to display some of my photos, though I have not updated it recently.

I too have a number of photos on Panoramio/Google Earth which jave had a modest 32,000+ views in the past couple of years.

I agree Doug's photos on the site he shows is certainly worth a look. The Canadian ones seem to be from British Columbia; also perhaps from an island off there noted for its bald eagles. Then in the US collection, going south of the border into Washington State and the coastal towns around there. But the Canadian Rockies are the best ones I enjoyed.

Sometimes I do the reverse of this. I look up a place on Google Earth first (using Street View), then decide whether it looks interesting enough to take some pictures.
