We have many ways to share our pictures on the net with our friend, family, colleagues and everyone. You certain know that there are really numerous site offering pictures sharing like FlickR, Panoramio and sure some others. I just wanted to have few pictures that I toke myself with my phone camera and put it online. Well I would also like to have it shown in Google Map because the quality of the pictures is quite good, so i decided to post it with Panoramio (a Google owned site). Suddenly before my pictures will be reviewed to be shown another 30.000 uploaded images must go through for this task delegated Google Team, and I really do not want to wait that long. So I decided to share the picture here. This is a very pleasant and easy task to implement with Wordpress.

Galoppen Rennbahn Freudenau (Site in German), Vienna, Austria , about 3 to 4 Km far from my residence. Situated at the south end of one of the most famous Parks of Vienna: the Prater Park. The area that makes up the modern Prater was first mentioned in 1162, when Emperor Friedrich I gave the land to a noble family called de Prato. The word “Prater” was first used in 1403, originally referring to a small island in the Danube north of Freudenau, but was gradually extended to mean the neighborhood areas as well. The land changed hands frequently until it was bought by Emperor Maximilian II in 1560 to be a hunting ground. To deal with the problem of poachers, Emperor Rudolf II forbade entry to the Prater. On April 7 1766, Emperor Joseph II declared the Prater to be free for public enjoyment, and allowed the establishment of coffee-houses and cafés, which led to the beginnings of the Wurstelprater. Throughout this time, hunting continued to take place in the Prater, ending only in 1920.(note: description taken from: Wikipedia)
