Custom Google maps
Do you know about Google custom maps? Do you use them? Custom maps on Google allow you to add you own points on a map, add description to them and then share the map. I quite often create one before a trip, to note the spots I really do not want to miss. Sometimes I even add links to images, so I better remember what on that particular place. This were a part of the old Google maps, and now are accessible through settings/my places. I really hope they don’t remove them.
What do you use to note locations? I’m open to some suggestions :)

Framed city
I was thinking about, how to make this view different than in my other photos. So why not try framing. So I crouched down and tried looking through the bridge railing, and this is what I got. Looks quite different, doesn’t it? In retrospect, I would prefer to have also the railing sharp, with some detail, but I forgot to take a refocused photo. So maybe next time.

You should share it.. could be very helpful :)

No strange locations there, I use it mainly to geo-tag my pictures when I’m done with the processing. (I’m a big fan of geotagging). Each color represents a different day.
strange locations are the best :) And I see you managed to move a lot in a day, I usually shoot only for sunset and sunrise, so I never manage so many at once
yes I shot a lot also during the day (also internals!). I hadn’t much days (6 in total including travel days) I moved a lot (you can imagine the pain on my feet) because London is fantastic :)
The red location on the Tames are purely symbolic, I made a boat cruise from Greenwich to Westminster
