My world-map-hit-counter. I think this is very cool. Theoretically, it registers and counts every visit to this photo but visitor tally must increase by 10% to update so please come back briefly multiple times. Can you find your dot? Thank you!!
below is a screen shot proof that this photo was the actual #1 flicker photo on the calendar page.
Thank you below to:
Jkonig- you're an inspiration and breath of fresh air
Lookfar+Shutterhugs+rainspoo your comments mean a lot.
@Kris Kros-Talk to me bro, we'll see what we can do for you, bring the whole family, I'll cut you a deal.

Postcard perfect!

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. You guys are the best flickr buddies. After I noticed all the comments about the colors, I thought about it, This was taken at sunrise, that time of day often gives photo friendly lighting unlike harshness of midday sun.

Thyaga & Yolanda good to see you here thanks for favs and comments.
This is my post popular photo but personally I never would have guessed it.

Except Mumbai and New Delhi, my town Kakinada did not get red dot. 10% of visits to which figur?
ms4jah (87 months ago | reply)
PT, thanks for visiting and trying, I give up on your city ever showing up on this map, I have been waiting, looking everyday hoping your dot will appear But maybe it never will. 10% of total number of visits since last update. ?? that what they say, Don't ask me.
