Most-photographed places...

Most-photographed places...  Here's a nicely-done heat map showing the location of photos posted on the web.  As a test, I zoomed into several places I'm familiar with, and found lots of photos, and frequency counts that made sense.  The heat map recalibrates as you zoom into any given area, always showing you the relative frequency of photos.  The screenshot at right shows a fairly out-of-the-way place: the Tahkuna peninsula on the far northern side of Hiiumaa Island, Estonia.  There's a monument there to the people who died in the Estonia ferry disaster of 1994 – a remote, but famous spot within Estonia, and the monument is photogenic.  The exact spot shows up as bright yellow (lots of photos taken here), and the map is dotted with photos you can click on to view.
