This is my post for the Our World meme. This meme is a second generation of My World Tuesday created by Klaus Peter and is hosted by five wonderful ladies. To learn more about our world or to join and share your part of the world, click HERE.
As most of you know, I have been using a GPS tracker for the past few years when taking pictures while traveling. The GPS tracker gives the GPS coordinates of the location where the photo was taken.
I’ve also started to go back and give the location of my archived older photos. The locations are then plotted on Google Earth.
I recently noticed that I had photos in 300 ‘places’ around the world, as shown by the red pins on the image above.
That map of the world doesn’t look as if it has 300 pins on it. But drilling down reveals more pins. The top image has one pin for Hong Kong, but the closer view shows six separate pins in Hong Kong.
For some reason, the greatest concentration of red pins seems to be in the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. I wonder why that would be the case.

That seems like a great way to track where the photos came from! Of course, with flowers, it is not quite such a need…

Like that old Hank Snow tune—I’ve been everywhere, man, I’ve been everywhere. Well specially in the Great Smokey Mts. Neat idea, George. MB
