Two billion images uploaded to Flickr. The 2,000,000,000? A photo of the golden tree on Market St in Sydney’s Chinatown. Big up for the Aussie connection, and to ‘yukesmooks’ for pinging their shot up at just the right moment.

Although, there is a near identical one down on the corner of Sussex and Hay St.

=P
Plus, ‘a billion’ slides off the tongue a lot easier than ‘a thousand million’!
