Google has reportedly released its list of the most photographed locations on Earth using data from geolocated images uploaded by individual users.
The heat map generated by the search giant shows Earth's most photographed locales based on photos uploaded by users to the Google Maps Panoramio service that links images with locations in Google Maps and Google Earth.
