Why I love Flickrpedia

I just visited Wikipedia’s page on Portland Head Light to confirm that it is in fact America’s oldest operating lighthouse (it is). When I reached the page, I noticed that the photo for the article looked strangely familiar. Yes, someone swiped one of the photos I took in 2005 from Flickr and used it for the article about what is most likely America’s most photographed lighthouse. It’s cool, though, thanks to Creative Commons. Really cool, in fact.
