It’s December 31st and the clock is ticking. Tomorrow will be the first blank page of a 365 page album you can fill with your photos. Whether you decide to participate in a 365 Project or have your own pace, we want to invite you to celebrate the first minutes of 2014 with the Flickrverse:
No matter if you are enjoying the fireworks, toasting with friends, or enjoying the celebrations by yourself, simply take a nice shot when it’s past midnight in your timezone, and tag your upload AFlickrNewYear. We’ll showcase some of our favorites here on FlickrBlog tomorrow.

From Dubai’s ultra-modern skyscrapers to the ancient architectural facade of Petra’s monument, the structures created by humankind are the focal point for many of you. And when you shared them with us, we’ve done our best throughout the year to highlight them via Flickr on Twitter. Now that 2013 comes to an end, here’s a recap of some of the remarkable photography featured in our tweets.
See more photography we’ve appreciated this year in the Architectural Shots 2013 gallery.

Our last Flickr Friday theme was #HotelCalifornia. This is a selection of our favorites from your submissions.
Memories came across from all of your submissions. You shared with us some lyrics related to the band The Eagles and found the way to express them in a couple of metaphores. You can start the trip from a snowy beach to the warm candle light in a hotel room. Have a look, enjoy and share more of this theme in the Flickr Friday group pool.
We want to thank you for the galleries of favorites that you’ve been sharing with us. Check them out and feel free to share yours with us too.
For our next theme we want you to focus on the most important things in life because it will be about #TheBestMemoryOfMyLife. We are sure that suddenly all the images from the most special moments in your life just appeared in front of you. Choose your favorite one and share it with us in the Flickr Friday group. The selection of the week, will be showcased right here on the Flickr blog. And if you want to invite your friends to take part in the challenge you can reteweet us, or share our status.

Our last Flickr Friday theme was #TimeTravel. This is a selection of our favorites from your submissions.
You showed us your film and black and white photos from the past and interpreted what time travel might look like. Chronographs, cars traveling through time and space, and even Dr. Who-esque phone booths, you showed us all of it. Thanks for all your contributions. Don’t miss to check out the whole collection in the Flickr Friday group pool. Also take a look at your galleries of favorites of last week’s theme.
Our new theme is inspired by an Eagles’ song from the 1970s. We want to see your interpretation of #HotelCalifornia, but of course not only in a lyrical way. If you are in California right now, even easier, but we’re sure you can also come up with great interpretations if you are somewhere else in the world. Build your own hotel california from building blocks, be creative with papercraft, or draw something. You can also do some other handycraft or come up with something completely out of the box, and then share your shots with us in the Flickr Friday group. The selection of the week, will be showcased right here on the Flickr blog. And don’t forget to reteweet us, or share our status so you can invite your friends to take part in the challenge.
