Window Arch Moab Utah

Ok. After a couple of evenings trying to figure out where the Blog This tag was to send this to my blog, I have finally accidentally found it. I had given up and was going to copy and plaste the sucker into my blog. But when I clicked on the picture to copy it, up popped the Blog This tag along with a number of other options.

This photo of Window Arch was taken on a hike to Corona Arch in the Moab, Utah area. I am posting this because this is the time of year my thoughts turn to hiking in the desert around Moab where natural arches abound.

But back to Flicker. I have not played with any photo web sites. It was on my list to do. I am very impressed that Flicker can tell you when your photo was taken. Currently I have a project going to just arrange 40 years of home photos in choronological order as they are shifted from some old furniture to a new location with the arrival of new furniture. And it's a pain trying to guess the year the photos in unmarked envelopes were taken. So how wonderful to have dates identified at flickr as well as what camera took the photo. Amazing!
And I love the tagging aspect of flickr.

As far as library applications, I could see storing photos here for promotional brochures and digitizing historical photos of library interiors, etc.

By the way, if you would like to see a picture of Corona Arch, several photos are in the public domain on flickr. I haven't got mine uploaded just yet but there are some beauties already there.
