That's because you used Google Maps to track your location history (which, at least when I first discovered the feature, had to be manually enabled), then took pictures which you uploaded to Google Photos. As a HN user, I'm sure you know that images often have location metadata. Google simply connected the two bits of information you provided to them by using their services.
Honestly, of all things that google does, this is probably the least creepy.
