Föderation EN Do 18.07.2024 22:03:19 Usually I save my work announcements for the @flickrfdn account but this is one I've been playing with in my non-work time. You can now browse Flickr Commons photos via a "map view" for the images which have location metadata. Zoom in and find images with No Known Copyright Restrictions from places you are interested in. So fun. https://commons.flickr.org/map/ I can see my house from here (almost)! Excellent fun new toy built by @alex (Medien: 1) |

Föderation EN Do 18.07.2024 22:22:17 @jessamyn What a cool tool. I found this, from where I live, #SantaFe #NewMexico https://www.flickr.com/photos/usnationalarchives/5101854089 @flickrfdn @alex @brittag |

Föderation EN Do 18.07.2024 22:59:49 That is very cool. Found one civil war photo taken within a mile of my house. |
Föderation EN Do 18.07.2024 23:42:17 @jessamyn very cool! I’m surprised there’s 40ish photos from the small town I live when there’s only 75k shared worldwide. Out of interest, what portion of commons photos are geotagged? |

Föderation EN Fr 19.07.2024 14:47:48 @jessamyn that’s cool! There aren’t any in my city. I’ll have to contribute. :) |

Föderation EN Sa 20.07.2024 13:19:39 @jessamyn @flickrfdn @alex What a cabinet of curiosities! I found a drawing of a nearby primary (elementary) school in Reading (UK), with a horse-drawn tram in the foreground. The drawing is by the school's architects, and somehow found its way into the collections of Cornell University Library (different continent, over 3400 miles away). |
Föderation EN Di 23.07.2024 09:06:03 @jessamyn @flickrfdn @alex @m nice work, this is super cool! I see that one of the labels in the selection list is “tockholm Transport Museum” - I’m guessing an S was dropped accidentally? (Medien: 1) |
Föderation EN Di 23.07.2024 10:16:03 @andypiper @jessamyn @flickrfdn Good spot! That’s the name of the account on Flickr, because their buddy icon used to be a large stylised “S”: https://www.flickr.com/people/stockholmtransportmuseum_commons/ I’ve just this morning pushed a workaround for this account so the Commons Explorer will add the “S” for us, so the filter looks right now 😄 |
Föderation EN Di 23.07.2024 13:29:22 @alex @jessamyn @flickrfdn TIL! Thanks for making things a little less confusing 🙂 |
