Creative Commons

With my new resolution of "One thing a day keeps the doctor away", I am launching into Thing 10 and Creative Commons licensing. Interesting that doing yesterday's search but limiting it to "Creative Commons licensed content" cut the number of images down to a third. However, there are still wonderful images of the library available and here is my favourite taken by 'erase':


It is so atmospheric of the library at night! I'll be looking at other photos in his Networkshop 37 Cambridge folder on Flickr... and I've made a decision that any photos I load onto Flickr will be under Creative Commons so that anyone can use them!

Flood of images

I love the Library of Congress page of Mystery Pictures - what a great idea to get the public to help identify images in your archive. As for the photos of inside the UL - they are absolutely wonderful. If I saw such beautiful images of my library I'd be really pleased!
