Our previous Flickr Friday theme was #CreativeCommons, and here are our favorites from your submissions.

It was a completely free theme were you were in charge of what you capture as long as you are cool with releasing it under a Creative Commons license. We saw a multitude of contributions, from landscapes to life events, from portraits to pets, from food to festivals, and from leaves to light trails. There are many more themes you can discover in the Flickr Friday group pool. Thank you for all your contributions to the ever growing pool of easy to use Creative Commons photos. Don’t forget to visit the discussion thread showcasing your favorites.

We know winter is getting closer on the Northern Hemisphere, so for our next theme we want you to remember that it’s always good to stay warm and #OnTheSunnySide. Either if you take the chance of waking up early to catch the first ray of light or just playing with the lights and shades that you find along your day. Share the brightest side of your shots with us. Our favorites of the week will be showcased right here on Flickr Blog next week.
