Before writing a story, I was trying to remember when I first did a photo. I went back to the story of my photos on the Local Guide. I found out that the first photo was made in May of 2017 when I was trying to find a shoe shop. The location of the shop and a district were unknown to me. I used Google Maps to find a way but unfortunately there was no photo of the shop. When I found it I decided to make a photo to help other people that aren’t able to find it. Some time passed and I saw that a lot of people more than 3000 watched this photo, so I understood that it might be helpful. So when the next time I was travelling to another country, I made some photos of the hotel to show people its positive and negative sides and to give some tips. I was amazed to find out that some of my photos were watched more than 100 000 times so I was very pleased. I understood that except using information from Google Maps I can be helpful and improve them myself ( adding information, photos, videos and so on). I bought a new camera and improved my skills in taking better photos. Adding information forces me to use English more often and improve my knowledge.

Hi @esperantoesperanto ,
I’ve noticed that your post has an Ukrainian language label, so I removed it, as it’s written in English. If you want to know more about the language labels I recommend you to read the article How do I find posts in my preferred language?
