Every 4/5-star Baja California photo in Canto, AI-labeled: one-line description plus structured tags, sorted best first. Location names appear only where the pixels, the filename or GPS support them; "needs check" marks honest uncertainty. Click any description to correct it, confirm it, or flag it.

Locations found: 7 named sites across 35 photos

Named only where the pixels, the photographer's filename or GPS support it. 37 photos carry no named site at all, and a further 5 carry a low-confidence name shown as a chip but deliberately kept out of the caption. This pool has very little place evidence in frame: no site signage, and only 21 of 77 frames carry GPS. An honest blank is used rather than a guess. Every derived name is marked "needs check" for you to confirm, and the evidence behind each call is printed under the description.

Places our curators judged specific and findable but could not name from the pixels or the metadata. Answer one and press the button beside it: the page shows you the sentence it will write, then puts it into every caption in that cluster. Those captions go to Canto on the next sync.

A further 13 questions raised during labeling were answered by GPS or by the photographer's own filename, and are not listed here. Those frames already carry their location.

Bare, banded sedimentary desert mountains dropping into flat blue water with a dolphin pod is a Gulf of California signature. The individual peaks are not identifiable to me, so I name the sea and stop there.

Boojum trees (cirio) grow in essentially one place on earth, the central desert of the peninsula, so the plant itself is the location evidence. Named to region, not to a spot, and flagged because the whole call rests on a species read.

The tapered spined trunk with whipping curled branch tips is the boojum, and a whole stand of them behind confirms it. That plant essentially only grows in the central Baja peninsula desert, which is a genuine pixel-based location call, but it is inland desert rather than the Gulf shore, so flag it for a check on how it was reached.
