I love the 'Sort by Interesting' feature on Flickr...

i spent a good hour last night just looking through;

Any other sites with easy to browse pictures? Only complaint about flickr is that typically the "original" resolution of the images looks majorly compressed.. Would love to get some of these as quality backgrounds.

And yes, i already know about InterfaceLift and DeviantArt. Problem with Interfacelift is the limited selection, combined with the fact that many are macro, computer generated, abstract, etc... I prefer landscapes, even HDR is fine... And with DeviantArt, they totally destroyed the ease of use in browsing that site used to have...

EDIT: Just as an example, did you ever thing Pakistan could be so beautiful? I dunno, i just never pictured it had places like this..

Well definately, but i think Flickr might compress themselves as well to save space. Nearly every 'original' looks very strange...
