We’ve got street view!

Street view, street view, who’s got street view? We’ve got street view!

     I know that probably is not news anymore for somebody, but it is definitely for me. These guys from Google, they’re genuinely amazing. They’ve literally put Prague on the map… that’s right, Google MAP(s).

     Now I can go wandering around the city from the comfort of my 24” killer screen :D, and save the real thing for the summer days. As it has a tendency of turning quite coooold (brrrrr) from mid October up until end April – mid May. The weather under the influence of Siberian cold fronts.

Showing you a screen dump from Google Maps (with their new street view) of the area where I live now:

…or click here to grab the 1198x786 version. Quite a beautiful area, I’d say? But now, all that beautiful green, the crisp colors of summer, are long gone. They have been replaced by other more darker tints, by autumn. It is grey, rainy and cloudy. It gets me depressed, the memories of summer and the cold (blame Siberia) reality outside.

This is where I work! A modern building in the heart of Prague, also street view:

You can grab the 1198x786 version here.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you…

…my new baby! She is a member of the Nikon family, and her name is Nikon Coolpix P6000. There are a couple of things that make her so special. One of the most

interesting things about it is the fact that it has integrated GPS. And what does it exactly? It just tags your photo with the latitude and longitude and embeds that data into the EXIF headers of the picture, so later when you upload it to Flickr for instance, it will be automatically placed on the map. Details about what the camera can do you can find here, the official site. Also, please find a couple of pictures that I have taken with this camera on my Flickr page.
