Find The Location where The Picture Was Taken
Date 27/1/2013
Say you are on vocational leave and want to go on picnic with your familiy, So you are exploring interesting places on the Internet and come across a gorgeous destination that you would like to go on picnic in this month. The only problem is that the web photograph carries no text caption and you therefore have no clue of the location where that picture was possible taken.

Find out Where The Picture was taken ?
Sometimes the EXIF data embedded in an image file can help you determine the location but there’s another alternative that is more likely to work.
Just like me You probably know that Google offers Similar Image search
to help discover images that are visually similar to your source image.
The same feature of Google Images can sometimes help you uncover the
location of a photograph as well. Here’s how:
Go to images.google.com and drag* any image – either from your desktop or another web page – to the search box.
If that photograph is of some popular destination, Google will mention
the possible location of that image above the search results (see
screenshot). In all other cases, you will at least know the original
source of that image and that could offer enough hints for you to guess
the actual location on your own.
[*] IE may not support drag and drop but in that case, you can click the
“camera icon” in the Google search box to manually upload a picture to
Google Images for analysis.
