The one blue hole image that didn't work as a link I recognize as a deep hole off Belize.

It's difficult to appreciate images with no spacing/separation between them.

(68,644 posts)1. The one blue hole image that didn't work as a link I recognize as a deep hole off Belize.
I can't think of the name.
The other places are unrecognizable to me, and one, with the bed and overhead aquarium, looks like a vulgar indulgence available only to people we'd never really want to associate with.
Sorry to end that with a preposition.
Cool pics, tho.

Embracing geotagging: how to journal your trips (and contribute to Google Earth) with snapshots
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/02/how-to-geotagging-journal-trip-picasa-google-earth-maps/
Geotagging. It's not exactly a long, lost art, but it's certainly not something most folks bother to do after a trip. Avid travelers, hikers and the general outdoorsy crowd have been embracing the feature for years, though, and it's actually seeping into the mainstream without most individuals even noticing. How so? Smartphones. Given the proliferation of iPhones, Android handsets and Windows Phone devices making their way onto the market -- coupled with the explosive use of geo-minded social networks like Path, Instagram and Foursquare -- an entire generation is now growing up in a geotagged world. Phone users have it easy; so long as there's a data connection and an embedded GPS module (commonplace in modern mobile devices), there lies the ability to upload a photo with a patch of metadata embedded. Snap a shot at a national park, upload it, and just like that, viewers and friends from around the world now have an idea as to what a specific place on the Earth looks like.
