About GECP
This website started in November 2005 pretty much 5 hours after I used Google Earth for the first time. I was struck by the endless possibilites and wanted to see more cool places. I started this so that I would get my own website to share and watch the placemarks.
My name is Christoffer and created this website, I live in Stockholm (Sweden). I love to travel so I see this as a perfect way to find out new places to travel to. For me it has been really cool to use Google Earth to find the different places in the world I have lived in (like, USA, Slovakia and Ecuador), check out my travel blog Tales Of Trips as well.I am always trying to gather money to go on trips. This is a reason for the ads on this website :)
These are my favorites on GECP:
- Cotopaxi - I lived near this volcano for six months. It is beautiful (check out a picture I have taken)!
- Sears Tower - One of the first placemarks on this site and also one the best. Such high resolution and such an amazing construction.
- The indian face - It is truly amazing how perfect the resemblance is!
- Hoover Dam - The view of the dam in 3D is awesome.
- Las Vegas - What can you say? A city that contains all the wonders of the world.
This website is optimized for Mozilla Firefox although it should work perfectly fine for Internet Explorer as well. I have used EditPlus, StyleMaster and Filezilla for the development of the website.
