Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails. Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them. (c) Finally, you can From Flickr Hive Mind.
To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Lego wwII Battle of Berlin Everything except for the houses and vehicles are rather simple, yet effective from my point of view, wish I hope you share with me, over and out. The LEGO Architecture Berlin skyline is well-considered a highlight of the history and culture of Germany.
Featuring structures which define not only the skyline, this kit also tells the history of Berlin as the world around it changed dramatically. With 289 pieces and at $26.93, it passes the 10-cent rule, and it has several elements not available anywhere else. I couldn’t help but look up each building as I constructed the kit, and was blown away by the staggering history of the buildings. Berlin, like many places in Europe, has a history centuries older than America. I couldn’t help reading and re-reading the accounts, so I felt driven to share the highlights of each building. First, an overview of Berlin. Founded in 1237, this 800-year-old city has seen its nationality change several times, and it has been a center of European history for most of its existence. Founded in the Margraviate of Brandenburg, it was later appointed the capital of Prussia before the German Empire was founded in 1871. This change made Berlin the center of European politics for decades. After World War I, the Weimar Republic was founded (1918).
This republic was then supplanted by the Third Reich in 1933. The Third Reich collapsed at the end of World War II, and, under the London Protocol, Berlin was divided into four parts controlled by American, British, French, and Soviet powers. As the world moved into the Cold War, the city was cut in two by the Berlin Wall, and the western side was enclosed as the last enclave of Ally control in East Germany. At the end of the Cold War, Berlin (and the rest of Germany) was reunified at last. The first exhibit in the LEGO Berlin set is the Reichstag Building, or (more properly) Deutscher Bundestag – Plenarbereich Reichstagsgebäude. It was built to house the Imperial Diet of the German Empire in 1894. In 1933, it was set on fire. This act of arson was an early turning point in the establishment of Nazi Germany, as the arsonist (Marinus ven der Lubb) was a known communist. Playing to the fear of communism was a key part of the Nazi party’s rise to power. The Reichstag suffered further in World War II, being indirectly bombed by US forces.
The Reichstag was slightly restored in the ’60s, but was not refurbished until after the German reunification in 1990. The restoration was completed in 1999, and it is once again the home of the German parliament, the Bundestag. The Victory Column may well be the most controversial icon of Berlin’s skyline. Its original location was quite close to the Reichstag, but the Nazi administration moved it to the Great Star (Großer Stern), a large intersection in the axis of the city. This relocation is credited with saving it from destruction in World War II, as the area of its previous location was bombed during US raids. The column itself has a long history. It was inaugurated on September 2, 1873, as a monument celebrating victories in the Danish-Prussian War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. The victories of the Unification Wars also inspired the addition of Goldelse, a golden angel, represented by a golden minifig in the Architecture kit. One of the more controversial moments in recent history was its use by Presidential candidate Obama in 2008, in his Berlin address.
The controversy, of course, was due to its association with the Nazi party. The Bahn-Tower, (or Railway Tower) is a marvel of modern architecture. Designed by Helmut Jach, it is a 26-story commercial office building which opened in 2000. It is the 6th-tallest building in Berlin, and the 3rd featured building in the LEGO Berlin skyline scene. It is currently owned by Morgan Stanley, but the skyscraper was built by Sony. Despite the official name of Bahn-Tower, it is often called the Deutsche Bahn Tower, because it is the headquarts of the Deutsche Bahn (German Railway). Built in the 1960s, the Fernsehturm (Television Tower) was built by the administration of the German Democratic Republic as a symbol of Berlin. It has maintained its fame thanks to its astounding height of 368 meters (1207.35 feet). It is the tallest German Structure, and the second tallest structure in the European Union, only being beaten by 0.5m by the Riga Radio and TV Tower in Latvia. The Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) in this LEGO kit is an interesting interpretation of its real-life counterpart.
This simple design disguises the critical history of the Brandenburg Gate. The gate was built in the late 1700s, and has been a landmark of Berlin for centuries. Originally commissioned as a representation of peace, it prominently featured a quadriga (a chariot and 3 horses) pulling Eirene, the goddess of peace. The Brandenburg Gate is a complex structure which replaced a guardhouse gate in the same location. It is designed after the Proylaea, a gateway in Athens, Greece. Despite its inspiration, the design is also consistent with Berlin’s architectural classicism. After Napoleon defeated the Prussian military at the battle of Jena-Auerstedt, he took the Quadriga to Paris in 1806. In 1814, however, the tide shifted. General Ernst voc Pfuel occupied Paris and brought the Quadriga home. At this time, it was redesigned and the goddess was then depicted to be Victoria, and her lance was redesigned with an Iron Cross, surrounded by oak leaves, and crowned with the Prussian eagle.
The Brandenburg Gate was destined to be an icon in other wars, eventually becoming a symbol of the Nazi party. Much of the gate was damaged in World War II, but both East Berlin and West Berlin restored it. With the construction of the Berlin Wall, protests and conflict rendered the gate a controversial location. The wall originally blocked the West side, but it was given a smaller wall on the East side. This small wall is represented in the LEGO kit, along with a couple other remnants of the wall. When the wall was demolished, the Brandenburg Gate saw its own revival, symbolizing freedom and reunification for the no-longer-divided population of Berlin. It was reopened on December 22, 1989, to allow the East German Prime Minister Hans Modrow to meet with Helmut Kohl, a chancellor from West Germany. Unlike the Victory Tower, this gate is considered a celebratory location rather than a reminder of the Nazi regime, possibly because it was off-limits to all of Berlin during the Cold War.
The gate was privately refurbished at the turn of the century, to the tune of €6,000,000. It was reopened on October 3, 2002, celebrating 12 years of German reunification. It is now often used to host large gatherings of over a million people, and it has been the venue for the Festival of Freedom in 2009, New Years’ celebrations, and even the victory rally of the German national football team after they won the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Berlin Wall, of course, is a major part of Berlin’s history. But like its current role in Germany, it is minimally featured in this set. The wall is in pieces, covered in graffiti and beautifully rendered art, and generally accepted to be part of the past to remember, but not with pride. Honoring that sentiment in the LEGO kit, there are only three small portions of the wall, each decorated with art. One of the portions is placed in front of the Brandenburg Gate, a reminder of how the division of the Berlin Wall took the Gate from both sides of the city.
