Flickr

Alright. There are several beautiful images on flickr that I considered using for this post, problem? Flickr means business when it comes to security. Everything is copyrighted, which is actually an aspect of the site that I like a lot, but it didn't help me any when trying to do this assignment. Exploring the site was a lot of fun though. I looked for pictures with the search map and popular tags mainly. It worked perfectly I found beautiful pictures (both expectedly and unexpectedly) that looked like they had been taken by professional photographers. I think that I like the idea of friends and family being able to share important moments with each other through something like flickr. I liked it so much in fact that I myself joined the site. And wonder of wonders, while exploring the site through my account I found a link to some beautiful scenes of the city at night. Further exploration yielded the photo that is with this post now. I love this image, I love the look of the stars falling out of the sky like shooting diamonds sinking into a sea of white mist below. The twinkling orbs showing through the fog below gives the impression that the stars now falling are joining a magnificent tapestry of glowing lights below a velvety night sky. The angle of the shot only serves to enhance this impression. It's mysterious, and beautiful and awe-inspiring. I give my props to the photographer for his obvious talent and expertise and I give credit to flickr also for making it possible for this photo to be shared with the world.
