Shooting locations in Google Earth

I speak on this blog filming locations found on Google Earth. Why, because the locations have a timeless magical, timeless and deeply embedded in our memories. These places have captured our minds, our imagination is walk and have raised some emotions.

For me, the first places seen on Google Earth then visited were a revelation, by the interest that it gave me of course, but mainly for the memories and emotions that they have traced me. It was no longer possible to wait, I created my website, locality geographique.com . I list all sorts of places by category, but one that I feel most at heart of course, is that of locations.

Each location listed has a description, and a Google map that identifies the location and the way to go. Many places are also illustrated with video clips, or photos. The links on places are available as Google Earth, Google Maps and Virtual Earth. I still wish you a good surfing location- geographique.com ... Feel free to contact me for locations that are not yet listed.
