How fitting! :-)
The hi-res pictures of Oslo is taken just when Yann Arthus-Bertrands
"Earth from above" was exhibited outside the town hall.

Subject: Google Earth photo links
While looking at John Coyle's images from Brisbane I thought it
would be
fun to see if I could find where they were taken.

It only took a few minutes and from half way round the world I was
able to
spot almost exactly where John must have been standing when he took
the
photos. Google Earth has nice high res images of Brisbane and
John's
bridge is quite distinctive.
If you have not tried Google Earth you really should give it a try.

High speed access is likely a good idea. It is amazing what you
can see in
many parts on the world.
You can email locations to other Google Earth users but since
attachments
are not allowed on the list I made a little web page with a link.

When you have Google Earth click on "Google Earth bridge test" on
this page
and I hope it will take you there. For some reason on my system
WinZip
gets in the way some times but after clicking unzip the link works.
I think it would be great if we could add a Google Earth link to
some of
our photos so others could see where they were taken.
Unfortunately the
area around my location is quite low res.
Any one with suggestions of easy ways to add Google Earth .kmz link
files
to photos?
Let me know if the link works for you.
