Flickr has today announced support for video media.
I’m impressed on how the integration is done, it’s the same experience as for photo plus the added value of what they call “long photo”.
Very elegant indeed.

Namibian ghost-town turning back into sand-dunes
Sunday, January 27, 2008
Seen today on Boing Boing, strange and beautiful photos:
Namibian ghost-town turning back into sand-dunes: “Check out these haunting and beautiful photos and video of the abandoned Namibian town of Kolmanskop, a ghost-town that is turning back into sand-dunes.
Kolmanskop is a ghost town in southern Namibia, a few kilometres inland from the port of Lüderitz. In 1908, Luederitz was plunged into diamond fever and people rushed into the Namib desert hoping to make an easy fortune. Within two years, a town, complete with a casino, school, hospital and exclusive residential buildings, was established in the barren sandy desert.But shortly after the drop in diamond sales after the First World War, the beginning of the end started. During the 1950’s the town was deserted and the dunes began to reclaim what was always theirs.

Photo walking in London
Saturday, January 26, 2008
On the 12th of January, I attended a photo walking in central London.
I discover the event on Upcoming but most people were Flickr users.
The organizer Phill Price has written a wrap-up post on photowalking.org.
If you’ve got Google Earth and want to navigate the photos on the route we’ve walked, here’s the Flickr link to the KML file for that event.
Below are some of the photos I took on that day (it was an exceptionally sunny day for this time in the year in London):

Don’t blink
Saturday, November 17, 2007
Recently, I came across astonishing and beautiful photos of sculptures from some Flickr contacts:
1. waterincatania, 2. Italian Garden, Hyde Park, 3. Untitled
They also remind me an episode of Doctor Who (more info here, here or here) where statues had a pivotal role.
Interestingly, following the airing of “Blink”, someone has created a group on Flickr called: Don’t blink.

It’s good to start a sunday by finding wonderful picture in your contact’s photo stream. Here, Ahmed Zahid is sharing again yet another wonderful sea-themed shot. I like the 3 three mooring lines that leads the eye to boat. I like its curves, it looks like a venetian gondola. Lighting and reflections are gorgeous as usual.
London Under Water Yesterday
Saturday, July 21, 2007
Torrential rains poured in England yesterday. London was not spared as seen in these images.
Soon visiting London will look like that.

Wednesday, June 27, 2007
As many people pointed at already, the British summer has started.
Expect a season of rain with spells of sun from time to time to prevent boredom for the part of the population who is not undergoing the summer migration to the Mediterranean.
On the up side it gives nice opportunities to do interesting photograph like this beautiful shot of Trafalgar Square posted in the West London flickr group.
Hardbrücke - Zürich

What electric ambience here in this gorgeous festival of light. It looks like the cockpit of an x-fighter jumping into hyper-space!
I also like the details in the rear-view mirrors.
Very cool shot.
Kangaroo Men Tryptich

I’ve spent Sunday afternoon in Little Venice taking photos with a friend.
While we were having fun around the Paddington basin, these two men came past us chit chatting with each other and moving themselves smoothly. But what they had on their feet was odd and the moved with a slight bounce. It was cool to see.
The only time I saw these things before was in an advert for Zurich insurance company.
I don’t even know what’s the name. It would help if I want to pursue the idea of acquiring a pair of them
