[Taxacom] Fwd: Fwd: Any suggestions of open source monitoring software/web sites that stores and makes available location images?

[Tony Rees]

Hi Mary, all,

I have to say I have never used Flickr, but it might be the best solution
of all for simple image storage with retrieval via one or multiple tags...
I searched for e.g. a nice natural location I once visited in the UK
(Wistmans Wood on Dartmoor) and got lots of hits: https://www.flickr.com/
search/?text=Wistmans%20Wood%20Dartmoor

Also from the Flickr description on Wikipedia:

"Users can organize their Flickr photos into "albums" (formerly "sets")
which are more flexible than the traditional folder-based method of
organizing files, as one photo can belong to one album, many albums, or
none at all. Flickr provides code to embed albums into blogs, websites and
forums. Flickr albums represent a form of categorical metadata
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata_(computing)> rather than a physical
hierarchy. Geotagging <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging> can be
applied to photos in albums,[45]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flickr#cite_note-45> and any albums with
geotagging can be related to a map using imapflickr. The resulting map can
be embedded in a website.[46]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flickr#cite_note-46> Flickr albums may be
organized into "collections", which can themselves be further organized
into higher-order collections."

Maybe that is all you need...
