35,000,000 Flickr Photos, Mapped

Scientists at Cornell University have super - cypher the geotags of 35 million Flickr photograph , creating picture taking heatmaps for localisation around the world . Their conclusion ? citizenry really , really like taking picture of landmark .

The national maps — like the one above , which evince the most photographed watershed in each of the top 20 most photographed cities — are fairly predicable , with photo density at its highest around population centers , especially bombastic , scenic ones . instinctive raft , like the Grand Canyon , make a inviolable exhibit , and the solution generally abide my hypothesis that most peoples ’ vacations consist of trudging to a localisation of note , snapping a photograph to prove that , yes , they actually went , and go directly back home , depressed .

The results get much more interesting at a local level . On the leftfield are New York City and San Francisco , which were the first and third most photographed cities , severally . democratic tourist destinations are prominently feature on these map , but in add-on the increased denseness of photos between these destinations form a sort of photo “ track ” along which tourer , patently anxious for deficiency of monument - character things to snap , take pictures anyway .

What now , James Surowiecki ?
