The photo of the Woodward’s building in Vancouver has been uploaded by a user called yeoaaron, and it’s officially the five billionth photo on Flickr.

According to Flickr, users upload more than 3,000 images to the site every minute. Although Flickr is the biggest social site that focuses on photo sharing, Facebook is still much larger with this regard; a year ago, it boasted 15 billion photos overall with 220 million new pictures posted each week.
