Kazan-Bogoroditsky Monastery
This is an entrance to Kazan-Bogoroditsky Monastery, in city of Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation.
The Our Lady of Kazan Icon is in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross of Kazan’s Bogoroditsky Monastery. The Icon is considered to be one of the most iconic icons, which also served as the patron of Russia. In the church, daily services are held, and worshippers come from all over the world to bow to the shrine. November 4, 2023 is the feast of The Our Lady of Kazan Icon. Therefore, there was a lot of user interest for this object. As a result, the photo received more than 6 million views in a short period of time. The photo was taken in 2019, during my short visit to Kazan and the surrounding area, which I have already talked about earlier in my publications on the forum.

Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester, UK
I took this photo about two years ago and it was quite challenging because of the size of the building and that I couldn't get the whole building in without taking it from this angle. Back then I didn't have a phone with an ultrawide lens. It's still a pretty neat photo, in my opinion, and I'm certainly very pleased that it's my star photo.

Citrus : A place for your hunger...
This place is Citrus, which is situated in Sarita Vihar, New Delhi. It is generally famous for its taste. In the evening there is a large crowd of the young generation can be seen here.
I clicked this view only for the food menu and their cost but when I uploaded it on Google Maps it became my one-of-the-star photo very soon. I think people are getting this photo helpful because after that they can easily decide whether it is the right place for them or not.

Rosecliff ,548 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI 02840, United States
Shown above is my current star photo. I took the photo in Rosecliff a historic mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island.
It was built in the late 19th century and is known for its grand architectural style and beautiful gardens.
The mansion has been used as a setting for numerous films, television shows, and events.
My star photo is a unique photo because I managed to arrive before the crowd and capture this place empty, this is also probably why the photo got so many views.

Pink Garlic Indian Restaurant, Taunton, United Kingdom
This was one of the first images I uploaded for Google Maps after I joined 11th January 2020. I took the majority of my initial photos when I was out walking - usually with my dog, a small Cavachon, called Bertie. I took this with the iPhone 10 Pro Max. He has gotten so used to me stopping to take pictures he just sits and waits patiently for me to finish! I find restaurant/food provider images often do better than most of the other pictures I take.
This is not the best photo I have taken - I didn't take enough care to ensure the apex of the roof was not cut off. I can't recreate this image because the owner has added new spotlights that are a bit too overpowering. This has now been replaced as the featured picture after 3 years. So it is likely to be overtaken as my star photo by a storefront picture of Argos in Taunton - another really dull image which is currently sitting on 2.55 million views - so it seems likely to overtake it in the next three months.
