TimeGuessr
Where and when were these photographs taken?
It’s like that Chronophoto game I linked to with an added dimension of location.
Chronophoto - The Photographical History Game
This is a fun game—with the same kind of appeal as that Wiki History Game I linked to—where you have to locate photographs in time.

Awesome astrophotography from the South Downs | Science | The Guardian
To mark the start of the Dark Skies Festival today, here are some fantastic photographics taken not that far from Brighton.
Same Energy Snap
Match up images that have been posted in pairs to Twitter with the caption “same energy”. This is more fun and addictive than it has any right to be.
CSS folded poster effect
This is a very nifty use of CSS gradients!
A Rare Smile Captured in a 19th Century Photograph | Open Culture
I wrote a while back about one of my favourite photographs but this might just give it a run for its money.
It was only near the end of the 19th century that shutter speeds improved, as did emulsions, meaning that spontaneous moments could be captured. Still, smiling was not part of many cultures. It could be seen as unseemly or undignified, and many people rarely sat for photos anyway.
A Guide to the Responsive Images Syntax in HTML | CSS-Tricks
Chris has put together one of his indispensable deep dives, this time into responsive images. I can see myself referring back to this when I need to be reminded of the syntax of srcset and sizes.
Responsive Images the Simple Way - Cloud Four
A nice succint explanation of using the srcset and sizes attributes on the img element—remember, you probably don’t need picture and source elements if your use case is swapping out different sized versions of the same image.
One caveat thought: you do need to know the dimensions of the images. If you’re dealing with unknown or user-generated photos, that can be an issue.

These are great photos of the speakers at Beyond Tellerrand—great captures of Sharon, Cassie, and Charlotte.
The Department of Useless Images - Gerry McGovern
The Web is smothering in useless images. These clichéd, stock images communicate absolutely nothing of value, interest or use. They are one of the worst forms of digital pollution because they take up space on the page, forcing more useful content out of sight. They also slow down the site’s ability to download quickly.
