This is a very cool visual dictionary. Type in a word and it combines wiktionary content with Flickr images. You can set it to pull from Google and Yahoo images, too, but the richest images are from Flickr. Very interesting to see images for the more intangible nouns such as love and hope. This could be a great tool useful for building a vocabulary wiki for a class.

Shahi is a visual dictionary that combines Wiktionary content with Flickr images, and more!

In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.
