See travel photos before you go
One of my favorite sites on the Internet is Flickr. I’m a total camera addict – I honestly feel as though I’ve forgotten a limb or something equally important the rare time I leave home without my camera.
So how does Flickr fit into travel? It’s worldwide, with photos uploaded by local residents and travelers alike. Pick any destination you might like to see, type it into Flickr’s search engine, and you’ll find photos galore. There are also groups that focus on themes – I particularly enjoy looking at the Prague and Northern Canada groups.
If you’re planning a trip or just wistful about a place you traveled to years ago, Flickr may be the site to see for photographic happiness.

http://www.panoramio.com is another great site for travel picto info. the photos are mapped, and you can zoom to street level to get a better angle on the photo.
I love browsing the Flickr photos, but I agree with GP- geomaping the photos makes them very interesting! I love being able to know, almost exactly, where the person was standing when they took their photo.
