Jio Digital Life Store at Dabagardens, Visakhapatnam, India
This is my most viewed Star Photo. I took this photo with my iPhone 4 standing on the road in front of the Jio Digital Life store at Dabagardens, Visakhapatnam, India. The shop was quite popular during the year 2017 as Reliance launched the revolutionary first 4G Jio mobile in India and started sales through Jio stores. Launching Jio 4G was a major milestone in the telecommunication history of India. Initial sales authorization was given to very few shops and Jio phones were sold based on advance booking. This shop was one of the very few shops that was authorized to sell Jio mobiles.

I can say with confidence that Japan is truly a culinary heaven now. For years finding a good pizza used to be a challenge and one of the biggest complaints for foreign expats living here.
Pizza made its first appearance in Japan following World War II, with Nicola's and Antonio's among the first restaurants to serve pizza in the 1950s.

It is said that pizza first graced Japan's shores thanks to two crew members of an Italian navy ship who arrived in Kobe during the Second World War.Nov 22, 2019

The Curiously Unusual World of Japanese Pizza
****The number 1 seller here is the Shirasu ( whitebait ) pizza. Whitebait is considered a local specialty here in Kanagawa Prefecture. **** Pros: Excellent wood hearth pizzas. The dough is both lightly crispy and doughy and a real pleasure to eat. Pizzas are medium to small in size with simple toppings. The risotto is a creamy rice dish that I really love, and here at Pireus it’s really good. The average cost per person is around 1500 for the course menu, which comes with a starter, main, and dessert. Attentive wait staff. Plenty of tables Cons: Desserts are tiny and not so interesting. It’s always busy because it’s popular.

I am truly amazed at the amount of views this photo has gathered. This photo was taken on the way out of the store, luckily there was no people walking around, however I did have my family telling me to hurry up and stop taking photos, so again, I'm amazed the photo is not blurry and has reached so many views. It was a snap decision, turned around, snapped the photo in under 5 seconds and fortunately it was made a feature photo.

This is the screenshot of my current star photo. I took it when I visited the department for official work, and I never thought this would be my start photo.

Costco, Hawthorne, California, USA
One of the first photos of the day, at the crack of dawn. Even had doubts of shooting it since it was so plain and uneventful. No building number, front door, or signs indicating where to go. This is the photo that caused me to create the slogan: When in doubt, SUBMIT AND FIND OUT. This photo REMINDS me every day that it's NOT what YOU think is beautiful, it's what GOOGLE'S ALGOs think is beautiful.

Sticky Pork Rice Bowl at Hanoi Hannah Vol. II
As a new Local Guide, for only one month, after learning about star photos from this forum, I've been eagerly watching my most viewed photos which I know you all call star photos. I am really surprised to see the jockeying that has been taking place regarding my star photo. Last month my star photo was taken at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. Last week I noticed that another one of my Royal Botanic Gardens photos jumped to star position but today, somewhat to my surprise, this photo, taken with my Apple iPhone 13, of a bowl of sticky pork rice, which was yummy BTW, has jumped to star position! Having said all this, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing which of my photos will be the star at the end of August.
