Interesting!

I found that I have one image which is almost identical to what they show 
online.  

Trafalgar Square (their example):

http://bt-prod-image-server.s3.amazonaws.com/030325wikihorizjpg-522011_horiz-large.jpeg

Trafalgar Square (my shot):

http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/1983/april_black_and_white/content/bin/images/large/Scan_090328_0041.jpg

Still kind of a dull shot, but at least it's slightly different than what most 
of the tourists shoot.

Tokyo?  Really?

I attribute some of this to density of cameras.  I'll bet Europe and
the North America have the most cameras.  Americans visit American
cities but don't travel as much as Europeans (that vacation thing
again).  Europeans tale pictures of there own cities and NA cities.
Slight bias toward NA cities.

So, what the hell do the Japanese do with all those cameras?

My non-stereotypical view of the spire in Dublin is, unfortunately, the

All that shows is how boring Flickrs are.  Very western hemisphere 
orientated, too - I suspect the title is quite inaccurate.
