Why You Should Take Self-Captioning Pictures Like This One of Singapore

My night-time photo of Singapore shows, left to right, The Singapore Flyer, a big wheel, and far right Marina Bat Sands with its skyscraper towers of shops, restaurants and a hotel, with, at the top, an infinity swimming pool, a bar and fine dining restaurant.

Problem
Lovely picture, but where was I? How do I caption the picture? How do I find the place on the map? How do I go back? How do I send a friend to my new favourite place?

Answer
What was the name of the cathedral? The museum? The street? I have all three. I did not need to delay and miss the last train home because I was taking notes.

The answer is self-captioning pictures. I no longer need to keep copious records of every shot and location.
