Flickr

Well, having established my blog and with the Library quiet for a Friday afternoon I am powering on with Web 2.0.

The Week 3 project is Flickr and I have had limited dealings with Flickr in the past so this project has been more about reinforcing my knowledge.

Whilst Flickr is an obviously wonderful tool for storing and sharing photographs it does have its downside in that it is there for who ever cares to view it. With this there is a risk that the image may be used in a context that is not what the photographer had intended.

I decided to do a search of Flickr on my home town Tumut. To my amazement 1154 images of Tumut appeared. Who would have guessed that my little town was so popular. Just in the first few images I discovered several which were simply outstanding in their quality.
This particular image is by Terry O'Fee. The shot is from the Snowy Mountains Highway between Adelong and Tumut and beautifully brings to life the spectacular Tumut Valley.
Well that is it for this post. It has been interesting and I look forward to the next exciting chapter.
Cheers

Oh thanks for that! I used to work in Wagga and do a lot of driving, I don't miss the work stress, but I miss the scenery.... It is a beautiful area.
