Giacomo della Sera, ‘Cuando amanece la pasión’

Flickr, the popular photo-sharing website, has named the top 10 images from 2016 from among the billions uploaded to the platform this year.

The top spot goes to Giacomo della Sera for his image ‘Cuando amanece la pasión’, a beautiful sunrise view of the Portuguese Aveira lagoon.

The runner up is Kiwi Tom Hall for his stunning image of the ‘lonely tree of Wanaka’.

In third place is ‘Zig Zag’, by Albert Dros, which shows a tranquil pink sunrise breaking behind a misty road lined with trees.

Flickr says its top 10 photos list was compiled based on an algorithm it uses to measure social and engagement metrics. However, there was some ‘careful curation of the images from Flickr staff.’
