Let’s say I want to search for photos about the Empire State Building. On Flickr I would just type in this phrase in the Flickr search box.

With Slickr Flickr we use the text parameter and also specify id="" so the search looks across all of Flickr and not just my own Flickr account

So to find photos whose title, description or tag refers to the Empire State Building I use:

  • On 10 December 1859 an excited crowd wound its way through the streets of Brisbane, from the Botanic Gardens to the former residence of Dr William Hobbs. Still in existence, the building had been refurbished as Queensland’s first Government House. On this particular day the excitement of Brisbane’s residents was well justified, as their dream of separating from New South Wales to become a self-governing colony was about to be realised. Ahead was a tall, dignified individual, who alighted from the official carriage to ascend the stairs of Government House and stand before them on the balcony. His name was Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and he was about to be sworn in as Queensland’s first Governor. A classical scholar, Bowen would go on to hold a number of vice-regal positions throughout the British Empire before his eventual retirement in 1886. Queensland was his first senior posting, and one can only wonder at his thoughts on that day in December 1859 as he stood before the excited onlookers. On 6 June 1859 the Privy Council in London had passed an Order-in-Council providing the legal machinery for Queensland to have a separate bicameral government based on the system operating in New South Wales. The Order-in-Council also empowered the Governor to make laws as well as providing for the administration of justice. The creation of a bicameral government was of the utmost importance to the majority of those who waited patiently beneath the balcony of Government House on 10 December 1859. Largely owing to official neglect and a lack of representation in the New South Wales legislature, the residents of the Moreton Bay district had forwarded a series of petitions to London during the 1840s requesting separation from the mother colony. The British Government responded in 1850 by passing the Australian Colonial Government Act, legislation that provided for the future separation of both the Moreton Bay and Port Phillip districts from New South Wales. To the consternation of the colonists, however, the Act contained no provision for self-government. Fears of London domination through an appointed Governor and Legislative Council sparked further petitions, the source of which initially emanated from leading pastoralists, particularly those based around the Darling Downs. They also called for the return of convict transportation to ensure a constant supply of cheap labour, a move opposed by the urban radicals of Brisbane who began forwarding their own petitions for self-government. The first rumbling of party politics was thus beginning to be heard, and while the calls for convict transportation slowly dissipated the British Government did accede to the request for self-government. This was made explicit in the Letters Patent which officially appointed Sir George Ferguson Bowen as Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of the new colony of Queensland, specifically charged with the task of overseeing the installation of self-government by and for the citizens. Responsibility for the first election nevertheless fell to the Governor of New South Wales, Sir William Denison. While Bowen’s appointment and his duties were to be publicly proclaimed from the balcony of Government House on 10 December 1859, Brisbane’s resident New South Wales Supreme Court Judge, Alfred Lutwyche, first administered the Oath to the inaugural vice-regal representative. The Letters Patent is the legal instrument which separated the new colony of Queensland from New South Wales and appointed Sir George Ferguson Bowen as the first governor. Following formal protocols, Abram Moriarty then stepped forward in his capacity as the Governor’s Private Secretary to read the Proclamation, the text of which was published the same day in the first issue of the Queensland Government Gazette. The publication also announced that Robert Herbert had been appointed Colonial Secretary and Ratcliffe Pring Attorney-General. They were the core of a temporary Executive Council which Bowen was to draw on after concluding the colony’s first official ceremony by thanking the assembled crowd. Five days later Robert Mackenzie and Abram Moriarty, respectively Colonial Treasurer and Under Colonial Secretary, joined the Executive Council. Extract of Proclamation to establish Queensland as a separate colony and appoint Sir George Bowen as the first Governor of Queensland, published in the Queensland Government Gazette, 10 December 1859.

Text Appearing Before Image: ; he will confess that there neverwas any thing more wonderful in the whole world. But why did the Romans waste so muchmoney and labour on works, the purpose of whichmight have been effected much more scientificallyby the simple plan of laying pipes along theground ? Of course, it is easy to give the unthink-ing answer, that they were ignorant of the laws ofhydrostatics, and did not know that water findsits own level! It is truly marvellous that suchan absurd notion shoidd ever have been enter-tained, and yet it is the common explanation ofthe fact of their building aqueducts instead oflaying down water-pipes. If it were at all neces-cessary to prove that a nation, so far advanced incivilisation as the Romans, or indeed that any in-dividual arrived at years of discretion, had dis-covered that water finds its own level, the proofmight be supplied from passages in Latin authors *,from the whole arrangements for the distributionof the water of the aqueducts, and from the AQUAEDUCTUS. 109 Text Appearing After Image: a, a, The ascending pipe. b, &amp;, The basin, made of blocks of travertine. * Vitruvius not only expressly states the law(viii. 6, s. 5), but describes one form of the aque-duct in which it was practically applied (viii. 7.s. 6), as will be seen below.
