See Your City Through New Eyes
Ever started to pass a few minutes by web surfing, hit on a site and then realize you've spent over an hour (or more)? For me that site is Flickr, the photo sharing site. You can put your photos up for free, allowing your friends and relatives to see your newest photos without having to spend an hour downloading them. You can make your photos public or private. There are a gazillion public photos, you can find specific topics or just wander around.
Flickr has two ways to find specific themes of pictures--groups and tags. Some Flickr folks set up specific groups for people posting photos on a specific theme: dogs, cities, parties etc. There are thousands of groups. Here are several links to photos about Syracuse and Central NY.
Also, each individual photo can have a tag attached--any number of descriptive words or phrases to identify the picture. To search for pictures with a tag is just like googling something: go to Flickr's tag page type in a subject, hit search and thousands of pictures of doggies, cities, parties etc. come up.
