Abstract
In response to a request for images of a location, a set of images depicting different conditions at the location is identified. Each image of the set of images is associated with condition information defining the conditions depicted in that image. A point in time of interest to a user is determined, and information identifying environmental conditions at the location for that point in time may be received. The set of images are ranked based on the received environmental information and the condition information for each image. An image from the set of images is selected for display based on the selected image's rank relative to other images of the set of images. The selected image depicts conditions at the location most closely matching environmental conditions expected at the point in time.
