[/caption] Look at this amazing map a colleague sent us. Found on Eric Fisher’s Flickr photostream, it shows the location of photos taken by tourists (red) and locals (blue) in New York City. A tag on the photo notes the lack of tourists, but we see another story too. Given that we’re open to the public for a grand total of about 60 days a year right now, locals are taking an awful lot of photos of photos of the views! Are you one them? Share your photos! You can upload them to our Flickr group (governors_island) or find us on Facebook and post your photos there.
