Details and History
The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is from the 1900 Whiting Bros. stereograph titled Mind the children, finish the washing, and have dinner at 12. If one explores 1890's fashion the adults appear to be wearing clothing appropriate to the other gender. However, the lady's outfit may be a proper cycling outfit which could include breeches. This image reflects an issue from the Gay Nineties (1890-1900) when gender stereotypes were challenged by the developing suffragette movement.

Flickr stats conundrum
Image by --Tico--
I have installed the Flickr stats feature and have a peak now and then to see which images are being watched. This graph shows the viewing history for the image 'Divis Tower - Belfast'. You will notice a peak on the 29th and 30th of December with 199 and 53 views respectively. It was then down to the 'background' viewing levels. This can not reasonably be explained by chance. Naturally you would think the image was blogged somewhere, but the Stats site ('All referrers') doesn't list a website other than Flickr, Google and Yahoo. A 'link:' search in Google didn't result in any hits either.
The other possibility was that something related to the Divis Tower happened on or shortly before the 29th of December. I Googled it but couldn't find any information. Is it possible that Flickr's and/or Google search engines are not picking up on a link?
