What is Interesting?

According to Flickr, these are the most interesting photos in my entire collection of over 2000 photos, as of October 2006. It changes daily, as there are literally millions of photos being uploaded there by people all over the world -- and they only highlight the "top 500 most interesting photos" for each day. For instance, on January 6th, this photo was interesting. Now it's not. Ce la Vie!
What's interesting to me is that the photos that make it onto the interestingness page for the day don't often line up with my own personal favorites. The Flickr interestingness feature is a strange algorithm -- and as fd says (he's the guy who wrote the program,) "taking it too seriously is bad for your mental health." Still, for whatever it's worth, here are my most interesting pics - click on the poster to see it larger ... (later I'll post the ones I like best)
