Don't know if this has been asked before of if I failed to read through the instructions, but what town / village should I use when uploading a photo if that photo was taken from one place of another place?



For example, the attached image was taken from Ellewoutsdijk, across the Westerschelde, and shows the DOW chemical plant in Terneuzen. Should I file this under "Ellewoutsdijk" or "Terneuzen"?

Thanks!

That's what I thought, seems logical, too, but in the image upload window, it specifically states:

"Enter the town nearest to where your picture was taken (please use the English name)."

- so that would be Ellewoutsdijk, in this case. Hence the question..:)

Ik ga ff in het NL antwoorden, het is te warm om na te denken hoe ik het in het Engels moet zeggen... (en eigenlijk is het ook al bedtijd)
Wat ik persoonlijk zou doen, is de foto plaatsen onder de plaatsnaam Ellewoutsdijk (want op die plek was jij, de fotograaf), en dan via de keywords uitleggen dat het een foto is genomen vanaf Ellewoutsdijk, maar dat het beeld wat je ziet, de DOW-fabriek in Terneuzen is...

En ik zie nu dus dat je het precies zo hebt gedaan... (Y) ;-)

This is a view from Ellewoutsdijk, therefore I think it should be attributed to Ellewoutsdijk. If someone goes to Terneuzen to enjoy this view, he or she won't be able to see it.
It's different when the place from where you shoot is not in the database. For instance, the image below whas shot from a Canadian village called Naramata, which is not on the map. The town on the other side, Summerland, is the closest one on the map, and it's also where my camera was pointed at.
