Hi, all - I've been referring to this myself as "experimental" as I would think 
the medium/longer term goal is to be able to, in a more advanced way do the 
following:
    1) Find sites/plots/survey areas 
    2) Find the above that have images over time
    3) Have a tool that enables comparison of these images over time (perhaps a timeline + ability to select some for side by side viewing) - I'm sure your ideas will be better than mine...

Associated with the above, I assume we'll need new data structures to support 
this - including aggregating images from a range of sources (ie: we may get 
nicely arranged images from TREND in an area but there will also others) + 
allow users to submit a photo of a site rather than a species etc etc...

Fully agree Peter: 

The current Panoramio application in the SP support site-based images but these 
are totally unstructured: It is a suite of images taken by anybody at any time 
and any location. The minimal data is author, image, date/time, latitude and 
longitude. ANY image uploaded to Panoramio IS available in the SP. There is no 
search ability in the SP but that would be a terrific idea, if it is possible. 
All that can be done currently is zoom/pan to area of interest and after 
clicking the 'Panoramio button' (under zoom slider), images will appear.

In principle, it would be a great idea to have a more systematic approach to 
site-based images. Mind you, there is nothing stopping anyone from uploading 
high-quality, systematic site images to Panoramio, e.g., TERN images!
