My first 'Explore'

McDonnell-Douglas AV-8B Harrier II+, originally uploaded by rob-the-org.

On Flickr, there are on average over 700,000 pictures uploaded every day. The top 500 pictures - as determined by 'interestingness' - are listed in a section of Flickr called 'Explore'.

After 3 years - one of my pictures finally made Explore for a brief period of time. My picture of a China Lake AV-8B Harrier taking off from Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport was in Explore at #369 for Tuesday, September 15th.

(I didn't find the picture on Explore until last Friday, Oct 2nd, and then as of this morning - other pictures had climbed up and bumped me out of the top 500).

But now I know that it is possible for pictures other than babies, cats and sunsets to make it into Explore.

Oops - its actually two pictures. Any guesses on which two?
