America Votes

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.

Vlogs are great, but people like pictures too. They offer a calmer, more relaxed way of viewing and taking in an event after the dust settles.

On Flickr, photographs of the Vloggies have begun appearing.

Here are some striking CC images on Flickr right now. Click them to go to their original photo page.

There are tons more, but it’s up to you to discover them. I do wonder, though, why so many people still mark their images as fully copyrighted by default. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of photo sharing going on that way.

But that’s material for another post.
