It might choose more interesting places if it sampled from the human population distribution.



I find the rural places more interesting. I live in a megacity, it's nice to see some countryside.


I don't know... I clicked a few times... the first time was a beautiful, picturesque spot in the Lake District in England. Every stop after that was some kind of inter-state or major road in the US, with basically nothing around but trees and a road. It got boring pretty quickly.

This would have been much more interesting if they'd allowed people to vote places that they were parachuted in up or down, and then displayed the distribution of interesting places around the world.

Also would have been nice if the "search" wasn't so slow.


It's weird... the first five scenes I saw were fantastic, exotic, sharp images, and I was so inspired I sent the link to several of my family and friends. Now, I'm clicking through, and I can't find any more good ones.

Weird?


Just untick everything except Europe.


Indeed... first it showed me some rural area in Scotland, then some beautiful suburban place in Denmark, then somewhere equally beautiful in Holland - I'm amazed at those countries.

I'd love to live in such a place.
