I have no idea how flickr determines a photo is “Interesting,” and based on the amount of discussion out there it’s unlikely I’ll ever know. Still, it is interesting… to see what an automated algorithm pulls up as my most “Interesting” photos. Some are what I consider my best and favorite photos, others are nothing but snapshots. Flickrriver.com has a great black background for viewing photos. I use it often when looking for photos of places or things.

This photo from Yellowstone National Park has been at the top of flickr’s “Most Interesting” photos for my photostream since I uploaded it. It shows up occasionally on other peoples websites, especially someone’s in Japan? It is in fact the photo I would pick myself to top the list. The colors really are just intense and beautiful. Yellowstone was the first place we vacationed with the new digital camera. Wish I had known about polarizing filters at the time as it would have helped reduce the glare.  I am reminded that while the focus in Yellowstone is explaining the “how’s” of hot, bubbling things; it is more significant that these beautiful and amazing places are the work of Gods hand. Figuring out ‘how it works’ is well and good but not at the exclusion of pondering the Creator as we enjoy His creation.

Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has
been made, so that they are without excuse.”
