Random Flickrness

It’s funny how some rather plain pictures posted on flickr get quite a bit of attention, and other - very impressive works - don’t get nearly the attention they deserve.

I quite like the picture above, but it’s nothing particularly special. I just happened to be in a plane with a relatively unscratched window on a clear day. Within a day of posting it, however, I had a few hundred views and dozens of people had labeled it a favorite. This, while some of my favorite pictures slip into obscurity.

   In case you don’t see the comment on your Flickr page, in response to your “favorite pictures” link above:

   At first glance, this picture is dull and boring. The more I think about it, however, the more I realize your intention of demonstrating just that. Great pic.

   And my comment on the pic featured in this post:

   I love the bottom half of the pic; the top, however, makes me a little sad because it’s dulled out. Still, great pic.
