A river of Flickr photos

I stumbled upon this neat way to view Flickr photos, called Flickriver. Basically, you search for a topic (like orangutans) or a member’s photostream and it displays the photos as one continuous ‘river’ down the page. But the nice thing is it only loads them dynamically in small batches, so you only use extra bandwidth if you scroll the page.

I’m guessing it’s based on this jQuery plugin Lazy Load which is basically the opposite of pre-fetching. Might be worth incorporating into a project. Hmm…

Check it out and be sure to also have a look at stuck in customs photos. He does some absolutely stunning HDR images. Highly recommended.
