FAVOURITE THINGS FRIDAY

Here it is Friday again and once again I've surprised myself by being ready with a post.
If you'd like to join in just click on the button on my sidebar and visit Mrs PJs lovely blog.
........
The internet is an interesting place isn't it?
Thanks to fellow blogger, Yorkshire Pudding we have found a site called Panoramio and it is my favourite thing this week.

This is a site for photographers to display their photos.
People whose hobby is all things photographic can show their photos to people who have a similar interest in photography.
Soon you find yourself leaving messages and becoming a follower a little like we do in Blogland.


From Panoramio the next step you can take is to put your photos from your travels on Google Earth.
Now this part is great fun.
Just think , when you zoom down on Little Stretten in Shropshire, England using Google Earth you may find this photo of ME outside a favourite pub there !!!


 or this photo of Lynton in Devon at night taken from our cottage up on the hill overlooking the village,


 or Lake Patricia near Jasper, Canada taken when we visited in 2007,


or even this recent photo of the Glasshouse Mountains here in Queensland, 


All these photos (and quite a few others) were taken by Tony and are now up there on Google Earth !!!
What fun!
His Panoramio name is " bravohorse " (this link will take you to his photos ) 

So now I have Blogging and he has Panoramio!
What a technology crazy house this is becoming.

Cheers.

    Ohhh! Another place I can go to look at and be amazed and inspired by. I hadn't heard of this one before.

    The internet is a crazy place- how did we live without it? And how cool is it to be able to share all of your holiday pictures with everyone else!

    Lovely to see you for FTF again this week Helen.

    Great FTF Helen and what gorgeous photos....I am so jealous I am very lacking in the photographic department....The web is a fascinating place. I love Mt Cootha lookout too. We take all our visitors there too! LOL!

    These are lovely photos. When I want to know what a place looks like, I put it into Google Images. So now when I do that, I might find your photos, or even you! What fun!
