Take a look here:

http://tev.fbk.eu/marmota/gallery/marmota.pl
Marmota Gallery
-> various countries

For example
http://tev.fbk.eu/marmota/gallery/marmota.pl?photo=Italy/Trentino/28022008(011)_o.jpg
(taken with our cell phone and geocoded in Marmota)

The authors are most like willing to also geocode
your examples.
