A bit of a Flickr milestone today with this my 5000th Flickr upload – a rough average of 450 uploads a year since I joined back in 2010.
Views of my images and albums over that same period have totalled an amazing 16 million, although the value of that stat is pretty flimsy with Fiickr seemingly changing the algorithm as to what constitutes a ‘view’ more than once over the years.
I have had the odd hiatus away from Flickr, but I am still here and continue to get immense enjoyment from sharing my pics, and the contact and correspondence with like minded photographers and rail enthusiasts. Apart from numerous friends who also post on Flickr, I have also made quite a few new friends through the medium, some of whom I’ve gone on to meet up with trackside - you all know who you are.
Not sure if I’m good enough for another 5,000, but I reckon there’s still another 2-3,000 worthy of scanning and uploading, plus of course I’m still out there taking more shots to add to the collection.
And last, but not least, in this image we see Pacific National EMDs 9002/9019/9023 with empty coal train MR977 to Moolarben mine, threading the Goulburn River valley between Sandy Hollow and Baerami crossing loops, New South Wales, on 27 April 2019. Note the vineyard in the right background.
