I know, you remembered something on the web, but when you went back to the website, the info is no longer there.

Solution?  Try the

Wayback Machine (made possible by the Internet Archive)

See this as an example for some of my pictures.

Virtual Tourism

Another great site to virtually tour a place.   Now that Panoramio is shut down, these other sites offer a chance to see the earth at ground level.  See also this button.

enjoy.

Panoramio going off line

Bummer,

but check out my pics until I figure out the way I can share in the future.

four thousand plus views in Panoramio

A couple years ago I started archiving my pictures on Panoramio and linking them to Google Earth. In part is has been a private task of highlighting some of my travels, but I have found that it also provides a quick and easy way to grab a photo for some teaching need.

I mean, PowerPoints can be dull, and what better way to liven up the presentation than to display some picture. Any way, this picture of Neptune's Rock, Puerto Plata is nothing special, but I suspect it has achieved 4000 + views is based on the location in the Dominican Republic.

Visual Geography

I love to show photographs when I teach. I mean, isn't it great that as geographers we can show our vacation slides in class? So depending on the class I can show pictures of places I have been to.

This is especially true with Recreation Geography.

And if you don't have the perfect picture in your file, you can always grab something off the Web. Be sure to give photo credit for it!

I have been posting shots on Panoramio (http://www.panoramio.com/user/2492564) which is especially neat since you can map it on Google Earth. The editors will select it for Google Earth and so far I have 58 of the 67 photos selected. Red Sky at Night ....

But I am not here to brag, I want to tell you about MapCrunch.Com. Check it out for some great photos around the world.

Post your photos on http://www.panoramio.com/

There are a bunch of websites where you can post your photos, but Panoramio let's you map them on Google Earth. I use Google Earth as a way to explore places I have visited, plan to visit or wish to. Google Earth has made people all Photogrammetrists! See http://www.panoramio.com/user/2492564 for my photos.
