Flickr Photo Stats

One of the cool things about Flickr is you can see where people came from when they looked at your pictures - and if they came from a search engine, you can see what they searched for.  Today someone searched for "lightning hitting a building" on Yahoo.  Bizarrely, if you do that, Dan's picture of lightning hitting a building (shown on the right) is the considered by Yahoo to be the 6th best picture (at least today).
Possibly even more bizarrely, when they saw the small image, they clicked on it, to see if it was actually the picture they were looking for.
Some else searched (on Google) this time for Gravity well discovery science center.  As far as I can tell, this is the only picture of the gravity well at the discovery science center on the entire interwebz.  So I  was pleased to give them what they wanted.






Gravity well 

The picture people find the most is this one.
Very young twins

If you search on Google or Yahoo for very young twins you'll find this picture - it's first on Google even if you search for web pages, and third for Yahoo on web pages, but bizarrely doesn't come near the top for image search on yahoo.
