Do you flickr?

I should have guessed how addictive flickr would be before I started searching this photo sharing website! In my initial searches I looked at places I have recently visited in my holidays overseas in China. A search of "Yu Gardens" (in Shanghai) as a tag produced 403 results. I thought the photographic content was better when I then searched "Yu Gardens, Shanghai". The picture above was one of my favourites, the red and orange of the koi echoes that of the buildings beautifully!

flickr allows searching under the categories of photos, groups or people and one can chose to have results displayed in the order of most interesting or most recent. (I wonder who gets to choose which pictures are most interesting and what is the criteria? How do I apply for this job?).

Under groups I investigated "library" which produced a large number of hits, more than 2000. "Australian library" offered 12 hits including Picture Australia. The images associated with Picture Australia were amazing! I broadened my search to "Australia library" which produced more of a selection. I even found the library I work at! Do you flickr?
