The website Flickr allows us to post photos and tag them for others to search for. There also seems to be a lot of groups that post pictures of a certain theme (silly cats for example).
I have a strange fascination with blacksmithing so I chose that as my search term. This brought up many pictures of old men in overalls. I wanted something a little more in line with my glorified idea of blacksmiths. Luckily you can refine your search to "interesting" photos. I don't know exactly what Flickr means by "interesting" but it helped me find what I was looking for.

Another interesting feature of Flickr is their privacy settings. This allows you to limit who may see your photos. Privacy on the internet is a big concern and having these options makes it easier to post photos that you may not want everybody to have access to.
