Flickr’s photo groups about travel
Jorge
We all know that Flickr is almost an endless source of pictures and resources. But I never thought of reviewing groups of users who have tourism and travel related themes. Obviously, there’s a lot, so I selected what I liked the most. Here they are:
Globetrekkers: with more that 120 members, they have over 400 pictures from all over the world.
Road Trip America: road pictures in the USA.
Passport Stamps and Visas: I loved this one. It’s, simply, about pictures of passport’s and visa stamps collected when travelling around different countries. Frankly, in some cases, the number of stamps are impressive. Obviously, you’re going to get envy when looking at these passports.
Trains and Trolleys: the title speaks for itself.
Travellers and landmarks: photos of travel. Most general group.
Aeroplane in flight: pictures taken from the sky, during a flight. I’m sure we all have one of these.
Route 66: The Mother Road, the most famous road in the USA.
Motels: potentially, an interesting project, but for now it has very few pictures, only 14. Hopefully, it’ll grow.
There are almost 65 groups listed under the Travel tag and 7 under Tourism (in this last case, with few members and pictures). I suppose with the growth of Flickr, in no long we will have many more pictures published. By the way, we have very few spanish-speaking representatives; both groups under the Viajes tag barely reunite 3 members (and I’m one of them, by the way).

[…] More than a year ago, I published an entry dedicated to Flickr groups that had travel and tourism photos as a central topic. It’s been a while ago, specially in the fast paced Internet, and it’s time to update this list. If you have any suggestion about Flickr groups that are not listed here, leave them on the comments. Before I forget: soon there’ll be news about this blog’s Flickr group, as a way to build a travel photography group and be able to discuss them in spanish -besides, of course, to establish a new difussion channel for the travellers’ work.
