Flickr has gone a bit bonkers today: 20,000 views (about x 10 the usual number). This generally means that someone has linked to a Flickr album. Indeed, the statistical trend seems to identify the museums of Rome, as a theme. The photo with the most hits? This bust of Homer, seen in the Vatican Museum, Rome.
