Vous avez été très nombreux à participer à « 24 hours of Flickr » lancée le 5 mai dernier. Les photos publiées sur le groupe nous ont tous enthousiasmés. Merci à tous pour votre participation.

Pour célébrer le succès de l'événement, l'équipe Flickr organise une exposition itinérante à travers l'Europe et posera ses bagages à Paris dans un lieu tenu secret...

Vous trouverez des informations complémentaires sur cette page mais confirmez votre présence à la soirée le plus rapidement possible afin de nous aider pour l'organisation de la soirée. Les places sont limitées - dépêchez-vous !

Sans vous, Flickr ne serait pas Flickr. À bientôt...

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island, North Carolina, released thirteen Sea Turtles back into the wild earlier today. I'm not sure if this is Surf City, Kayak, Nelson, Progress II, Cedar III, Nettie, Fisher III, Harley, Buzz, Taylor, Pi, Frosty or Shacklford II, but we wish him (or her) bon voyage.

Am 5. Mai haben wir in der Gruppe 24 Stunden Flickr weltweit aufgerufen, euren Tag in einem Bild festzuhalten. Wir wollten es wissen: was passiert an einem Tag auf der Welt?  … und eure Beiträge haben uns begeistert!

Jetzt möchte das Flickr-Team mit euch den Erfolg von 24 Stunden Flickr mit einer kleinen Ausstellung in Berlin feiern. Und – Flickr wäre nicht Flickr - wenn wir euch nicht nebenbei eine gute Location zum fotografieren bieten würden… 

Mehr Informationen findet Ihr auf upcoming.org. Anmeldung nicht unbedingt erforderlich.

Schaut rein und sagt „Hallo, Hello, Hola, Salut, Ciao…“ – wir freuen uns!

Hi Flickr People. Yesterday, June 2nd 2007, we got married, two and a half years after meeting each other here on Flickr. This is an amazing place, with amazing people, many of whom we've met around the world. Most importantly for us, without Flickr, we would probably have never met, although we'd like to believe that Fate would have found a way to bring us together. Thanks to everyone at Flickr for sharing your fantastic, inspiring photographs with us.

Love and rockets,

Valerie and David

Mazel Tov! David shared the story of their courtship in this Flickr Central topic and announced their marriage here.

"my grandpa was a good man.
he was a farmer for the majority of his life.
he survived stomach cancer for 17 years.
and finally gave in to lung cancer age 85.
he was a fantastic cyclist.
and a very opinionated man.
he made machines out of old white goods motors and pulleys to do everyday tasks.
his dogs were loyal, well behaved, helpful, caring creatures.
his fruit, vegetables, wheat and milk were incredibly delicious.
his meat and fish divine.
my kids never got to meet him.
but one day, i'll tell them all about their great grandpa.
one day.
hi grandpa!  is your next life as good as your last one?"

There may be flies on some of you guys,
But there ain't no flies on us!
