Friday Procrastionation: Pictures That Make You Want to Go & See

What percentage of your Friday work day is spent working? Mine can range anywhere from 25-90%, depending on the time of year, my mood, the weather, how much I drank last night...

One of my favorite things to do is cruise the public commons photos on Flickr. Here's some eye candy to inspire you today. If you work extra hard, you'll get paid better. If you get paid better, you can travel more, and maybe even afford one of those fancy cameras to take amazingly frameable photos of your own. I take all of my travel photos with a mobile phone at the moment, and should probably follow my own advice and work harder. Alas... THE INTERNET.

This week's search term is "end of summer":

Hey, so it turns out "end of summer" was not the best term to start this little game off. There aren't many awesome photos. There aren't many photos at all. Sooo. How YOU doing. Here's a house covered in chamomile plants in Reykjavik taken c. 1900.

And finally, doesn't it look like this boy has a really long, jacked up arm? My arms are freakishly long, and this is how they feel when I'm forced to stand up in an uncomfortable situation. 

From the UA Archives 

"A young Upper Arlington boy rides a wagon with a steering mechanism and sail. This photograph was one of several published in the September 1918 issue of the Norwester Magazine depicting the end of summer and heralding the start of the new school year."

Well, there's our first installment of Friday photo searches. I'm sorry it's such a letdown. But it's Friday and there's nobody reading this, so I'm sure you'll get over it somehow. Besos!
