Mount Kilimanjaro - TANZANIA
Snow capped yet located in the tropics, Mount Kilimanjaro stands at 5,895 metres above sea level. There is no doubt that Mount Kilimanjaro is the most photographed landmark in Africa. Is it possible that we can capture data from android operating system to support this claim? Likewise capture data for all photos taken by android at exactly this place and many other attractions to indicate to end user that -- you have just for example taken the 1 trillionth photo of this place and so we can keep track of the photos of several other place such as this.

Thanks @Giigle for this very inspiring post about Mount Kilimanjaro.
I like the post and the photos, it makes me travel and it reminds me of beautiful mountains like the one in Zermatt, Switzerland:
I recently went to East Africa and I saw some very nice places with not so many photos on Google Maps maybe because it is difficult to reach these beautiful places.
I guess that Google, Apple and Facebook are aware of the most photographed places on Earth, Some data is available on Google Maps, for example the number of photos on each Point of Interest. The place with the most photos on Google Maps I have seen so far is the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris., There were 324689 photos of the Cathedrale in Google Maps on April The 17th. and to day, June 3rd, 2019 there are 362881 photos uploaded!
