Derelict Ireland, Scattery Island, County Clare by Mark Waters, shared under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license
In my Flickr trollings, I stumbled across this lovely image of two old, abandoned cottages in County Clare, Ireland.
Did you know that you can do an advanced search in Flickr, and constrain your results to images that are Creative Commons licensed?
You can also blog some images directly from Flickr (depending on how the owner has configured permissions), though the result is less than perfect. The default image dimensions are small, and the attribution leaves a little to be desired. So, if that drives you nuts, and if the license allows you to make derivatives, you can save and upload the image to your own space and make it whatever size you want. Just make sure to attribute it properly, and to provide a courtesy link to the photographer’s Flickr profile.
