Flickr members recreate historical pictures from The Commons archives

Last month, in celebration of the Flickr Commons 13th Anniversary, we put out a call for our members to recreate and reinterpret a historical photograph from The Commons archives. To spark some inspiration, we compiled 13 images and asked you to choose one and get creative with the reinterpretation.

Today, we want to celebrate some of the best creations our members shared throughout the month. If you like them, please take the time to visit the photographers’ photostreams to fave their photos or leave a comment in appreciation. Enjoy the compilation:
