Among Yahoo! s remaining qualities that also has some existence inside it is photo discussing site Flickr. Devoted customers still publish their finest photos on the website, supplying us with amazing understanding of what went down this year. It can make us wish the site never offered to Yahoo! to begin with.

While Instagram has taken the imagination of budding mobile photography enthusiasts everywhere, Flickr continues to have some amazing near-professional content on its platform.

Flickr has published its Year In Photos 2011 which provides coverage for from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan towards the Royal Wedding, and my way through between. All the photos within the 2011 recap come from Flickr customers.

Amazing shots from 2011

Flickr has listed the top photos from the customers and shows them monthly. I'd have really loved to possess seen a listing on most seen or shared photos in the year too, when i believe that it might provide a better concept of what content meant probably the most towards the community.

Regardless, the shots that they have incorporated are occasionally breathtaking. Listed here are my three faves:

Space Shuttle Atlantis is released within the final mission from the U.S. Space Shuttle program:

You can observe the whole gallery and share your faves, too. What's going to become of Flickr later on under Yahoo! Nobody knows, but imagine as it were what can have happened when the site had remained independent, and produced a very great mobile experience. Applications like Instagram wouldn t have experienced an opportunity to compete.

Sad, really.

Inform us within the comments which moments this year separated itself for you probably the most, and which picture taken that moment perfectly.
