An illustrated map of my city
An illustrated map of my city
There's an Architectural Photography thread in here, I assume that means it's not just nature photos that are welcome?
I just discovered Google Maps is awesome. Old news, most likely, but I'm happy to learn that one can create a map with paths, markers, photographs, videos, well, really anything!
So what I wasted my time on today was mapping out my more prodigious bike trips (I just took one yesterday, biking a grand total of 60 km to get to a joust in the 14th century ruins of Łęczyca castle)
And then, to do something even more interesting, I took my Łódź photoset, and whenever I could remember where I'd taken a photo, I put it on my photographic map of Łódź.
You guys should totally do your own cities. Even if you don't want to show the maps to anyone, this is a really fun way of digital scrapbooking. And in a few years if you find yourselves wondering where you took a picture, you can just look at the map.

Pop-up blocker maybe? dunnoImpenitent wrote: I can see the labelled photo markers but I can't seem to access the photos - not by clicking the markers, nor the list on the sidebar and I can't figure out any other way.
Ro nice pics. Great idea.
Never realised how close you were to Scandanavia, or Boston for that matter.

If anybody figures out how Mac users can see the photos, please post here! I really want to see this, but though the map loads, the photos don't. And my popup blocker is definitely off.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Argh! Thanks, Ro. My computer is not very old, but maybe it can't handle this?

Yes, I stay on top of those. Don't worry about it. The kids' computer is newer; I'll try looking at it from there later today, or from my son's laptop, which is newer still.

You made the map!
And I'll find a way to see it.
