This is a house on the side of a hill in Bustidono, a small village about 2/3 hours away from Santander - its about 30 seconds walk from Cris's house. What can I say - its every bit as awesome as it looks. Again, the absence of any mechanical noise changes everything...
Yesterday I went on a venting spree about community based sites on Ilan Bresler's blog - I've recently been exposed to 1x.com (onexposure) - which is total flip side of flickr - in the sense that one is totally democratic, and the other is totally autocratic. I've been on flickr for a while, but I've never been featured on flickr explore or such, but I was quite dismayed at what DOES get featured there. Then at 1x.com, I see the flipside of it, and at first I thought it would be a refreshing change, but now I'm not so sure. Just as a side note, 1x.com does have a really good collection of pictures, and so does flickr - its just the competition based features that bothers me. Bottomline is why so many of us put our pictures to be 'judged' by these communities, when I don't believe there is value in either extremes - I have yet to find something in the middle, but we'll see how it goes.
