August 19 is World Photography Day! Founded in 2009 by Australian photographer Korske Ara, World Photography Day celebrates shots taken all over the world and the positive change that can come from taking photos and sharing them with others.
I’m continually inspired by Local Guides around the globe who share their passions and experiences through photography. On Connect and Google Maps, you help guide people on where to go next.
This World Photography Day, I want to celebrate the amazing photos Local Guides like you have taken! Here are some of my favorites.
Ohh what an amazing post @Christina-NYC . I love still photography. I can’t resist myself to share my best viewed still photo on google map. Thanks for sharing this post.
@Christina-NYC Beautiful photos… I will share a few photos I took. I am reaching the 1000 photo limit in the Connect. @Christina-NYC , Is it still valid in the new Connect?
You selected some super beautiful photos @Christina-NYC for World Photography Day. Here are two of my personal favorites. Only the World Trade Center photo is on Google Maps. Thanks for this opportunity to show off our photos and keep up the good work. Regards, @Koby
Mehrangarh or Mehran Fort, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan , is one of the largest forts in India . Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha , the fort is situated 410 feet (125 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of the impact of cannonballs fired by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.
Torgnon, an alpine village in northern Italy situated to the west of Valtournanche the Matterhorn valley, visible from some points in the village, this place of few houses in stone and wood is a healthy place for the purity of its air and fresh winds, in a in the context of woods and flower meadows, Torgnon becomes fairy-tale in winter and spectacular in other seasons of the year. I have thousands of images of this place, but this one with the snow is one of the most beautiful. Greetings from Italy.
