Searching around on Google Earth I had failed to enable photographs but when I did enable I was delighted to see our very own GowerGulch42's handy work. If and when I get time I'd like to add a few of my photos of various out of the way locations in DEVA for other curious people to enjoy.
Curious to know if any of you have taken the time and enjoyed adding images to Google Earth?
Here's a screenshot of Andrew's image on Google Earth.

I used to use Panoramio. I guess that got sucked into Google Earth? If so some of my pix might be in there somewhere. How do you enable photos in GE?
Many years ago I did early work in location-based services, and I was looking for ways to indicate where I might be, without actually saying where it was, such that someone "in the know" would be able to figure it out. For example, taking a random point in the middle of southern Panamint Valley, the radar station near Ballarat showed up as the nearest photo. Meaningless to most people, but anyone here would know right away where I was. (OK there is a similar one down in Searles Valley some place? I saw it last month).
Of course now you could just take that photo and do an image search on it and then know where it was.
But a better example is my house. The nearest photo was the playground of the local school. Again, if you lived near me, you would know, and that's fine, because you could also drive by my house and get a lot of evidence as well.

At one time I had something like 600 photos on Panoramio. I think about a third of them are still regularly viewed on Google Earth, but nowadays it is difficult and unrewarding to add photos.

I've got somewhere around 150 panoramas upoaded (mostly mountain summits) but stopped doing it because the Google Streetview app that I was using to make the 360 panoramas would glitch almost all the time and the images would be full of errors. Or they wouldn't upload at all and often the panorama wouldn't even be salvageable. A fact I wouldn't discover until I was already off the summit.
