Strangely Popular

It is one of those strange things about life, but there really is no accounting for taste. This picture has, for some reason, been consistently the most popular image on my Flickr collection – pretty much since the point it was uploaded.
At the moment it has been viewed over 600 times, which is nearly a hundred views each month, and I have no idea why.
Of course, I think it is a great photo. I took it. I photoshopped it.
Personally though, I think there are others which I would rather look at. One other oddity is that despite its mountains of views, no one has added this picture as a “favorite” – that honour tends to go to ones of Stonehenge or Romans in armour.

I thought it must be because of the lomography effect, as that is obviously popular, but the lomographic Avebury next to it has less than a third as many views. Odd.
Maybe it’s because it looks like it might be in Mexico?

Possibly the “Mexico” look
I thought Spain myself but they are similar!
As an additional oddity, there are new photos on Flickr but the sidebar seems to be ignoring them.

I wonder if posting it here (again) is going to reduce the number of views it gets…
