Travel writing and Google maps

I'm reading a wonderful travel book: 'River of White Nights - A Siberian Travel Odyssey' by Jeffrey Tayler

The great thing about reading travel books these days is one can follow the journey on Google maps.  Even better, other people have posted photos that help give context to the mapping.

At the moment I'm in Nyuya, on the banks of the river Lena in Republic of Sakha, Siberia.

Here's a picture of the place.
