If you’re a Flickr user with images available under a Creative Commons license, chances are one of the photo editors at TravelMuse has seen your work. Many of the photos on the TravelMuse site come from the great library of images available on Flickr. Before each issue is published, we notify all the photographers whose images we have used, and we often get enthusiastic responses. A few of the latest notes have said things like, “I’ll be honored if you want to use my image on your website,” “Thanks for the compliment!” and “Looks like you’re putting together a great site!”

One of the great things about Flickr is that it allows anyone to create a Flickr Group that others can join. TravelMuse now has a group that is open to users who are interested in travel photography and who would like to have their images published. We love seeing the new photos our group members have added and are always keeping an eye out for the right images to go with our articles. The TravelMuse group also provides a place for travelers to share stories of their travels and adventures. To join the TravelMuse Flickr Group go to www.flickr.com/groups/travelmuse. Below are a few of our favorite recent images from the TravelMuse group.
