Flickr is becoming a strong player in the Web 2.0 world. From breathtaking pro-quality pictures (we use it for our homepage’s photo-of-the-day) to citizen journalism if you are looking for photos it’s the place to visit.
Case in point dixieinaz’s photo set titled “Empress of the North Rescue, 2007“. Click on each photo to find a detailed description of the events as they took place. Together they form a play-by-play photo diary of the incident.
For all the flickr photos of the incident visit the Empress of the North tag page.
