Emilio, you should probably prerender low zoom overlays. As it is now
the low zoom levels are rather pointless, because the number of images
show is capped.

In low zooms Great Britain should be much brighter
than the rest of the world (even if it does not say anything about
image quality of the geograph project).

A heat map would actually be a
better way of visualizing this data.
