My Most Viewed Pictures - And What They Can Tell Us

A quick check in on the top 10 most viewed photos on my Flickr Photostream and what the stats may tell us:

As of today, the top ten most viewed pictures I've taken and posted on Flick are:

1. Close Up of Taj Mahal - 1,770 views
2. Naked Bike Riders at the Femont Solstice Parade - 610
3. Aircraft Carrier Yorktown in Charleston, SC - 573
4. Beijing Olympic Stadium - 532
5. Former South Vietnam Capitol Building - 486
6. Don't Tread On Me Flag - 454
7. Modern Ho Chi Mihn City - 392
8. 2009 Gay Pride Parade - 364
9. Modern Skyline of Ho Chi Mihn City - 337
10. Temple of the Warriors at Chichen Itza Ruins -336

These pictures are not necessarily the ones I think are my best shots. You can see some of those by clicking HERE.

But, I think these results show that:

• A lot of people are interested in military history - particularly the Vietnam era
• The Beijing Olympics was a huge interest to people - so much so that even though nobody has looked at my picture in a LONG time, it still is near the top of the most viewed list
• Loads of people want to know what the Taj Mahal looks like close up - not sure why, but it's pretty obvious
• Interest in the "Don't Tread On Me" symbol, flag and saying has shot up in interest along with the Tea Party
• Hey, pictures of naked bike riders or a Gay Pride parader are always going to get some views
