A few years ago I joined Local Guides which uploads photo to Google maps and gives reviews about places. I upload the photos from my iphone after I have been somewhere. Normally this is a Church I visited or if I am in town a shop of scene. The reason I use the photo from my phone is because it has GPS concordance which Google Maps use to locate the place. I do not post them for any notoriety I just post them for people to see. What surprises me is the number of views I get. Today I will show you a few of the photos I post of Google Maps and how many views they have had.
You might remember this one from Friday's skywatch, it was only taken a little over a week ago and to date has had 205 views
This photo of an empty seating area near Jubilee House in Cowley has had 1687 for some reason
Fabulus Flowers has has 2237 since I took it
Oddly though this one I took of a new part of a local garden centre got 6176 views
Jumping back to November 2021, it has had 12400 views.
This shop has had 14000 odd views
But this one has had 106752 views which rally stunned me
like this one of a chapel at Horton Hospital which had 94951 views
I never realised that this one of the local pub got 258,303 views
I'll finish with this photo of Wallingford Medical Practice which I noticed was not on Google maps so I went and took this photo, I could not believe when I looked that it had 520,865 views. todate all my photos have had about 5000000 views. I don't consider myself that good a photographer so when I found out the number of views I get, I have wonder why.
