Today’s Flickr Photo Friday, more Flickr than photo.  This is the shape of Vietnam, according to Flickr users’ photo geotags.  It brings up a lot of interesting questions.  Should the waters surrounding be considered part of the country?  [If you have a big fishing industry like Vietnam does, than popular vote is yes!]  What are political borders really?  How do you weigh that against these social conceptions of borders?
Would love to see disputed areas’ versions of these maps, like Palestine, Kurdistan or Tibet.
