I love their photostream! As of today, they have over 5,080 wonderful vintage photographs uploaded. My favorites are tagged rosietheriveter (i.e., Rosie the Riveter).

In addition to finding a picture, we had to find a song to accompany the picture through CCmixter, a wonderful music site that features remixes under Creative Commons.

This image, Flood Dancing Couple-7, is owned by Flickr user Krypto. It is a picture of a couple dancing in the Stratford-upon-Avon floods (in England). This image has a creative commons license of some rights reserved.

This song is called Everything by Doghouse Riley featuring dripmanila. I picked this song because it sounded fun, silly-ish, and upbeat — just like the young couple in the picture. Despite the rainy flood water, they are out in the street, dancing and having a good time.

I found the song on CC Mixter. It has a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial license.
