Coming back from the long weekend, still picking at my Thanksgiving leftovers, I sit and ponder what everyone else around the world was doing during the holiday. Well thankfully, I can take a little peek at flickrvision to set my curiosity at ease. This website, created by David Troy, first shows you a giant google map and then breaks into photo mode showing the latest updates people made to their flickr accounts around the globe.
Particularly interesting after a holiday like this, where so many of us were found feasting around the dinner table and chatting it up with relatives you only see once a year, many others were out doing completely different things (assuming these are all photos taken in the past week, that is). The photos I’ve seen today range from a little boy acting like a superhero in California, to a silhouette of a woman smoking a cigarette in Germany, to a cheerleading competition down in Texas, and of course a handful of group shots from family gatherings.
It feels a little voyeuristic to be peering in to all these lives, but then you remember they posted it up for the world to see and you just can’t help but peek. Or can you?
