I was actually going to request some way to go back to a previous image. I didn't realize I could just use the back button. Glad you pointed that out! @OP: worth adding a back button in the site UI?
I will. And there's also a sidebar/menu when you click on the logo, but that's not obvious at all.
Hey, thanks !
How are you curating these images? Which is to say, how are you ensuring that I see a really great photo of the Azure Window[0] (which happened to be posted two weeks ago) rather than whichever random one Ig turns up first?
I had a semi-similar idea (but focused on graffiti) but all the restrictions in their API terms were sort of a turn off.

I told more about this on Cool Hunting [0] but basically I'm manually selecting the best one. So I have a list of ~150 shots, I'm sorting by likes (which most of the time is not relevant at all) and removing all the #selfies using a face recognition algorithm.

I like it. How about adapting the background color gradient to the major colors of the picture? E.g. using https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6905547
Ahah, I had that idea too, but there's a security problem with images from Instagram. Long story short: they don't allow cross-origin resource sharing, so that doesn't work.
I really like this. I've already found some interesting places!
I have a lot of favorite ones, but the craziest is certainly this one: http://smwh.re/door-to-hell
I finally have a good reason to go to Turkmenistan !
