Visitor/newcomer to Flickr:
Flickr is a powerful website for sharing photos, but navigation may be confusing to the first-timer. For my public-view photos you can start at the Sets(albums) page. A (blue) link is provided to it below this paragraph. Small framed images represent the Sets, [most recent upload first]. The Set title gives indication of the type of contents. Choose one you're interested in and mouse-click on it to open. This produces the introductory page for that specific Set, with thumbnails for a quick overview. Though you can then click on a particular thumbnail to go directly to the photo-page, it's usually better to click the somewhat larger image on the left for the Set's start photo, as most of my shots are in ordered sequence. That should take you to a photo-page which has one large photo. Underneath (scroll down) I've added some text description. This sometimes includes blue links to other pages of related interest; for example webcams, and Quicktime tour views. Most of my photos are location mapped with the red dot in the upper-right mini-map. Above the photo in each Flickr photo-page is a control for the Set. Clicking on the Next button takes you to the next photo in the series. Enjoy!
Flickr also has powerful search facilities so that you can select images for specific word tags. E.g: peteshep architecture auckland

And there's a flickr Tour here:
www.flickr.com/tour/

PREFER viewing in Sets to the unrelated backwardness of flickr's Photostream.

"Taken On" dates: Due to the occasional fickleness of flickr, some "Taken On" dates, especially pre-digital, aren't always reliable.

Viewing: PC users may like to try the F11 key when viewing, especially in the "View Larger" mode.

Your Photo?:
Eventually, especially in public places, close faces may appear that I do not know. If you recognize yourself in one of my photos here, you may contact me by email so I can send you a copy, or at your request delete it from here.

Geotagged/Mapped photo locations: Most of my photos have been geotag mapped in Flickr from their photo-pages. (Low down in my Description under the photo will remind this.)
In the mini-map, upper right, on most photo pages click on the red dot. Many also include a blue "wikimapia" link in the description. This is set to take you into the location detail in satellite aerial view thus showing the physical context. Furthermore Wikimapia has a drop down so that you can easily switch to other formats such as Google Map of exactly the same scale and location.
