Boundaries


My brother has sent me a link to this interesting "Boundaries" site, which plots the different neighbourhoods that Flickr recognises in a local area. The picture shows the different shapes around where I live, but you can search for your own neighbourhood if you follow the link.
There is a bit of an explanation about how it all works. I get the idea, without understanding the detail, and this has the potential to waste many more hours than I can afford. For example, it shifts the level of detail, depending on whether you ask for a town, village, county, or even country. Pretty cunning.
