Vantage Point

My interest with Google Earth was rekindled when I read Mawee’s entry showing a captured image of her house from Google Earth. Instantly, I opened Google Earth from my PC & explored it, then I remembered Panoramio.com, I submitted some photos on panoramio. So what the heck is Panoramio, it is a site that offers online photo storage, as an additional feature, the possibility of showing your photos on Google Earth. I started uploading & mapping my photos on Panoramio last May, there was no promise of your photos to be shown on Google Earth in an instance, it takes time.

Yesterday, after ignoring Panoramio for about 2 months, my photos finally appeared on Google Earth. I have submitted 16 photos, 13 of which are now available & viewable through Google Earth, here are the 13 photos featured:

First on the list is my photo of the monkeys at Isdaan Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac.


Next is the War of Heroes Memorial in Capas, Tarlac.

Third, the Society of Risen Christ (SRC) Monastery in San Jose, Tarlac.

Manila scenes are next, the Manila Skyline taken from Fort Santiago in Intramuros.

Another shot from Fort Santiago, this time showing the Jones Bridge.

Manila Central Post Office is the next, this photo was taken while inside a cab, one of the first photo taken using my Nikon D80.

This one is one of the first photos I’ve taken using my Nikon D80, the Quiapo Church.

8th on the list, is the famous Manila Bay Sunset.

And 9th is the Manila Bay Nightscape taken from the Harbour Center.

Number 10 is our very own Sunset, taken from Island Cove Resort.

11th is the Island Cove welcome sign.

Still inside Island cove is #12, the Fishing Village.

Finally, our house. hehehehe!

Everyone can contribute to this program, it doesn’t matter what kind of camera are you using, as long as you post a photo that would describe a certain place. This is one good step in promoting a place, i my case, I wanted to promote my beautiful country, I hope this can be of help. You can check my Panoramio page here.
