I'm searching for pictures from Seychelles.
If I "Crawl the Gallery" from "Pictures" menu I find 4 pictures.
If I start from "Guides" menu and click on "Africa continent figure" of the world and then select "Seychelles", it display that there are 4 pictures available but if I click on "Pictures (4)" the result is no pictures and header page with written: "Pictures 1 - 0 of 4".
I will take a look to see if I can help you, but there is the possibility that the pictures were deleted for some reason. That might be for any of several reasons. I'll look to see what I can find.

Luca is right, The problem I think could be 1) that in the picture databank the place is abreviated to "Seychelle." or 2) the pics have no province/city allocated to them. I you look at Luxembourg and Liechtenstein (also tiny countries) you will see that pictures there are located to a City, Province and Country, even if it says Luxembourg-Luxembourg-Luxembourg.
I tried this with Gibralta and Vatican too. The "Crawl the Gallery" function finds 6 and 44 pictures for those countries, the clickable map too but the "Travel Search" function 4 and zero pictures respectively!
I just finished using the "crawl the gallery" option using the name Seychelles. There are 4 pictures that show up, all by member vagabond. Look under the Pictures option, then "crawl the gallery". You should be able to find what you want. Also, you could open the page of vagabond and look at his/her photos.

Thanks Russ and Rudi for your answers.
Russ, your solutions work well as work-arounds and I have used them before signal this bug to verify this situation.
Fortunately in Globo there are several ways to arrive at the same information like pictures and if one way tells you something strange, just try another :)
This bug is well described by Rudi, infact each Vagabond' Seychelles photos have "Seychelle." as location.
I didn't notice that starting from "Guides" and from "Pictures" I obtain two different location info as "Liechtenstein - Vaduz" or "Liechtens." for Rudi's "Valley Border" picture...
Another test: start from "Pictures" and "Crawl the Gallery" for "seychelles" you'll find 4 pictures, but if you "Crawl the Gallery" for "seychelle" you find just one of the previous pictures...
