Found on Flickr: city squares

creativecommons by station_nord on Flickr

I stumbled across the photo above while on Flickr looking for something else, and it just took my breath away. There is just something about it. The photographer hasn't identified the location which just adds to the mystery.

Tip: for the full effect, right click the image to open it in a new window, so you can see it enlarged.

This inspired me to search for other interesting city images. Here is some of what I found (and I will come back and add more to this post):

Fog

I wish I was in Paris in fog

is thick fog out this morning here. I love fog. Not sure why, but I've always felt that way.

Fog is grey, but isn't depressing.
Fog is thick, but isn't oppressing.
Fog is moist, but isn't like other wet weather.
Fog is muffling, but sounds are just slower, deeper, thicker.

Love how the fog horns sound.

Interestingly, I have been in a bit of a fog lately, but fog actually helps lift that feeling.

Found on Flickr: Rogue Chairs

I made the most interesting discovery tonight on Flickr... it's a group called "League of the Empty Chair (interestingly Out Of Place)", and it's just that, odd, random rogue chairs found here and there. Here are a few of my favourites found so far (click any image to go to its source):



















The ones I like best are those that are unstaged, and somehow surprising. But I did enjoy this:


... and last, but certainly not least....

Found on Flickr: shadows, skateboards and sheer guts

A few compelling photos I've stumbled across in Flickr recently.

These are all from Miles Gehm on Flickr.

Found on Flickr: cats, mannequins and odd signs

When I am researching travel topics for the blogs I write, use the Creative Commons image search tool. Through both Wikimedia Commons and Flickr, there is an easy way to share images with all the source and licensing info intact (it's there if you click on any photo in this post). So thought I might just start sharing some of the photos I come across today...

These are not from my travels, just stuff that either made me laugh or smile today... These are all from Dennis from Atlanta, on Flickr.









Lots of fun... but I must finish with one more cat...
