As mentioned in previous years, Flickr uses a mysterious algorithm to determine what constitute an “interesting” photo. No one seems to know what makes a photo interesting in the eyes of Flickr.

At any rate, as we’ve done before, here are the 10 Most-Interesting photos taken this year by us as determined by Flickr.
