The most photographed places on earth

What is the most photographed place on earth? The question is of course impossible to answer and one can only muster a guess.  Countless places lay claim to being the most photographed place in the world, including Paris, The Taj Mahal, Walt Disney World, Niagara Falls, Angkor Wat, the Acropolis to name just a small handful. 

The only thing that is widely accepted, is that the Sun is the most photographed object (sunsets and sunrises seem to be universally irresistible). But sticking to "planet earth", let's take a look at some of the most photographed subjects around the world. Judge for yourself if you consider them "photogenic". 

Here is a checklist of sorts, for people, places and things to photograph on your travels. Some of them are famous, while others may seem a little odd. Either way, whether it's a bridge or a toilet, some places get all the photographic glory! (Please keep in mind there is no way to verify the following claims.)
