I agree. And this also applies in the small. A photo of the Eiffel tower should not be tagged with the location of the tower, but the photographer's location when she took that photo.
Well, there I don't agree. In my opinion the geolocation should give the location of the objects that are on the photo, not of where it is taken. Look at it from a usability point of view: I recently was in a Hungary, and from an old castle on a hill next to the Danube River took a picture of the village on the other side of the river. When would someone like to use that picture in Wikipedia or a Wikibook or whatever? When they're talking about the village, I assume. Much more likely than that they would do so if they're talking about the castle.
