My name is Ron Hall.
I live at the Funny Farm.
When I first got hooked on Google Earth. I started to experiment/explore various portions of the application/interface. That is when I stumbled into "Panramio" - Google Earth's version of Flicker.
I found it down in the "Layers" section of the content panels - under "Geographic Web" (expand/contract any entry by clicking on the dropdown carrot next to it). Note - the icon next to a layer corresponds to the icon on the screen. Make sure the layer is clicked on - fly to a favorite spot in Google Earth and see if any show up. Click on one, voila - a picture someone took of something in that area pops up. Gives you an increased understanding of what the area looks like.
Anyone can do this if they are interested. The service is free, the interface is simple. You can also just check out other pictures. You could use it to show far away friends what your home looks like, or post pictures of you latest trip - all up to you. It wasn't Google's idea, but they liked it so much they acquired the company back in 2007.
Make it a good day.
