One of the things I did before my recent trip to Bulgaria was get on Google Earth and look for the contributed photos. If you set your "viewing altitude" to between 5,000 and 10,000 feet (1,500 and 3,500 meters), you'll see a blue dot for each (cluster of) photos. When you zoom in farther (reduce your "altitude") they'll turn into little camera icons with blue halos around them. The spots with more little blue dots tended to be the places that both locals and visitors found most interesting in some way. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
