Flickr Freak

In Europe these days, there always seems to be some vote going on somewhere. But when the US shuffles to the polling stations, the world pricks its ears.

It seems only natural, although it can become a wee bit too much for us Eurotrash clicking away the election-related posts in our feed readers.

But what can you do.

Luckily, Flickr offers you the chance to see what is actually happening on the spot, making the event more close-by, personal and real than any news broadcast can.

It wouldn’t be Flickr if there wasn’t also a group, created for the event.

First, check out this selection of cool CC licenced images. Click them for their original photo page.
