Been there, photographed that -- look!
StoodThere.com can inspire your next trip by letting you see photos from travelers who have already been there. You won’t be intimidated by glorious artsy travel photos impossible to re-create for your own albums, but you will find snapshots of places you might visit one day.
What’s hot: It’s easy to find such iconic destinations as India’s Taj Mahal, Britain’s Stonehenge, Italy’s Colosseum, the Golden Gate Bridge, Paris’ Notre Dame and more in the Top 100 Greatest Places to Stand on the Planet, but you can also take a gander at places that weren’t on your radar, such as the Isles of Scilly at the southern tip of Britain. I particularly liked “The Most Impressive Bridges” in the Lists section, and Arches National Park in the Places section. You can also just scroll through uploaded pics in the photos section. If you want to speed-browse through vacation shots, use the Wall section, a grid of thumbnail photos or a map that has buttons to choose photos by location.
What’s not: StoodThere is also getting into videos, uploaded in the TV section. It’s not ready for public consumption. You can’t search for videos by place as you can with the photos. Instead, you just get what you get when you click on World, USA, Europe or the United Kingdom. The website is run by a small bunch, and they welcome your feedback on improving the site.
