#5 Flickr

Exploring Flickr was quite an experience. I was overwhelmed by the number of photos available for viewing. Some were fantastic, some strange, some a little unnecessary. But it's like an online diary of sorts so everyone can post what they want. I searched for a couple of my favourite things eg. cats (there were some hilarious pictures - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/junku/12752017/);
chocolate (mmm - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/77824231@N00/100082824/);
New York (what a gorgeous skyline - see http://www.flickr.com/photos/arno-4m/134257663/).
I also had a look at Picture Australia. What a wonderful resource - I was able to see historical photos of some of my favourite places (like Inverloch). I also found some old pictures of the sports grounds here at Vision Australia in Kooyong! The outlook has changed a little...

'The page cannot be displayed'

Aaah, technology. You gotta love it. Every time I try to create an account on Flickr it tells me the 'The page cannot be displayed'. I wonder if our network has a block on something and is restricting access? I know other people in the building are having the same trouble. I may just have to explore Flickr, find a pic I like and post a link to it. I'll be back.
