Peter'sPics's conversations

Is this part of the "Tower of Sirkip" pictured in Mildred Cable's "The Gobi Desert" and "George Hunter"? Is the marker on Google Maps the original location? What happened to this? Did someone intentionally destroy it?

Also I see another square structure on Google Maps at 42.812467, 89.792930 - but can't see it on other sites. Maybe this is something new rather an ancient ruin.

You can follow this road on QQ (Tencent) Streetview - here is a similar location somewhere on this stretch: http://goo.gl/Mufkrh

That's just the beauty of Panoramio, though. Using the plus button you can zoom in to the exact location - you can use a combination of map, satellite and hybrid too. Panoramio has the potential to become an exact record of the appearance of streets and buildings for the future. Flickr does this too, but (a) its interface is clumsier in my opinion and (b) because it is people's ordinary photo album they often map photos of people etc at locations which makes it less useful as a historical and geographical record. I see Panoramio as a much easier to use, and more precise, version of Geograph.org.uk
