It was surprisingly easy to geotag my photos from twenty years ago! Who knew!? Mostly because they were of fairly obvious things. And to be fair, I geotagged the flights back in 2005 when Google Earth first came out. There were only a few that were a bit tricky, and only a couple I couldn't get at all (eg some brownstones in Brooklyn that had no photos half an hour either side so could have been literally anywhere in Brooklyn, or a couple of photos in Sonoma wine country that could have again been anywhere, and the one of endless fields in Nebraska). Some were a bit of a fudge (the ferry to Alcatraz). I was also a little disturbed that I could so the World Trade Centre photos with precision as well. Not sure why I felt so strange about that. Also freaky just how much *hasn't* changed in twenty years. Like Storybook Land in flowers in Disneyland.
