Where We Take Our Pictures

Estonian professor Tanel Tammet visualizes the world’s most photographed areas based on images from Panoramio and FourSquare check ins. 

Via Sightsmap:

The heatmaps are based solely on the number of available Panoramio photos for an area: both the number of photos and the number of authors is taken into account.

The dark and the blue areas have a few photos, the red areas have more and the yellow areas have a large number of photos geotagged.

Images: Screenshots from Sightsmap, the first shows a heatmap of most popular photographed areas. The second overlays photos pulled from Panoramio on top of the Google map.

H/T: Visualizing Data.

    Very cool. This reminds me of the “most photographed barn in America” scene from Don DeLillo’s “White Noise.”
