Very interesting and beautiful use of data; the author has taken information from Flickr about where photographs were taken in world cities, and overlayed this onto road maps. The result is a density map showing the most and least photographed regions in these destinations. It highlights the trend for cities to become islands of tourist hotspots, informed by guide books and tourist information, while certain areas of cities remain unexplored and unphotographed. It also links into the theory that for an individual a city becomes a small collection of regularly visited locations, effectively shrinking the city into a small, personal interpretation of the whole.
