Interesting "features" on Google's Photo cloud service...

Some are cool, some are interesting.....
So if you upload your images to google, you can search your pictures by a description....

So search for Pictures taken in Hawaii, and Google will search your pics looking for pictures from Hawaii - both with GPS Tags and by photo recognition...

it'll (often) identify where you took a picture… without geotagging data
Say you have a photo from Paris, backed up from an older camera from 2003. It’s timestamped, but not geotagged with a location.. but the Eiffel Tower is in the photo.

Google Photos will tag the photo as being in Paris because of the Eiffel Tower, and it’s smart enough to know that any photos timestamped within an hour or so are probably in Paris, too. “We take limitations of physics — how fast you could reasonably move — into account here,” says Google Photos’ product lead David Lieb
