OK, this is more of a request than my usual nano-commentary.

Panoramio: Photos of the World

...was acquired by Google last month (July 2007). If you download and install the latest version of Google Earth, you'll find that one its features displaying user submitted photos of places all over the world. This is great stuff (and a tremendous time waster :-). So, here's my request...

The big name cities and famous sites have lots and lots of photos of them already. What seems to be missing are the smaller places and things people who live there may consider ordinary and dull but may be of great interest to everyone else. So, please go forth and photograph the main street where you live; the rock or hill from where you can see a great sunset; odd cloud formations that only are seen in your part of the world; an interesting looking little shop; whatever. Thanks!
