Earth Album

For Thing #6, I found a Flickr mashup called Earth Album. I've seen other sites that are similar, Google's own Panoramio is very similar in fact. However, I liked the simple interface of Earth Album as well as the way images were displayed in a clickable banner. It looks like this site can be used in several different ways; for example, you can simply click anywhere on the map of the world to see photos from Flickr taken near the spot where you clicked.

You can also enter an address into the search box at the top of the page for more precise results. I thought that was fun. In entering my own address, I found a Flickr photo of my absolute favorite store in the Sacramento region. If you haven't been there, you are missing out!

Then the thought hit me to go back and post a photo near every address where I've ever lived. So, here's something near my house in Ceres. And here's a shot near my second home in Savannah. Now here is something near my first home in Savannah (only six blocks from the second). Next, I included a shot taken near my home in Hinesville, Ga (about 45 minutes toward nowhere from Savannah). Before that, the student housing on CSU, Monterey Bay was home and this picture was taken near my apartment there. This shot was taken close to the house where I spent most of my childhood in Clayton, CA. Before that, my family lived briefly in Martinez, CA, and, when I was born, we lived in Concord.
