Dear LGC friends,
my growing passion for creating StreetView experiences has led me to map, for the very first time ever, the “National Park of the Archipeloago of La Maddalena”.
it’s been a splendid journey that I’ll be concluding this summer with the remaining island. Here the post I did to celebrate reaching one million views.
This winter presented me with an unexpected and special opportunity: a trip to French Guiana.
It was an incredible, fantastic 15 days. I was based in Kourou, home of the CNES (European Space Agency). I visited the Guiana Space Center, Cacao Village, the capital Cayenne, and Salvation Island, the famous islands that became a notorious prison and were made globally famous by the prisoner Henry Carriere when he published his memoir titled “Papillon”, later become a quite popular movie .
You can reach “Salvation Island” in 45min by boat. The area consist of three island: Saint Joseph, Royale Island (that was the main prison) and Devil’s Island that, unfortunately in closed to the public.
Of course I couldn’t resist the chances to capture these island trails and transform them into captiving StreetView experiences.
Here some trails at Saint Joseph island and at the Royale Island
But you can also have a walk in Kourou city and visit the Dreyfus Tower, used to radio communicate with the islands, or visiting the many roads I mapped.
I’m eager for these StreetViews to not only enrich Google Maps but also inspire others to explore and document these stunning landscapes.
Hope you enjoy this new opportunity of a virtual toor.
Take care
Marco
