Earth Album is a simpler, slicker Flickr mash-up that allows you to explore some of the most stunning photos in the world courtesy of Google maps and Flickr.

To begin your journey just click on any country or part on the map, e.g. "Ethiopia". A series of photos then come up and clicking on any of the images will bring it to the front with a short description of it. Neat!

The images change every few weeks. A good site to bookmark as you'll get a different experience every time you enter it.

Also remember to mark “Earth Hour” next week – 8.30-9.30pm, March 28. Spread the darkness just for that hour.

Yours in Earth-hood,
Naked Surfer
