flickr stats through the roof

I love taking photos, and I’ve taken a liking to publishing them on flickr.com for the world to see.  Until today, I used to get a bit chuffed when a particular photo recorded over 100 views (my most popular was a three wheel motor bike taken at Cranbourne in 2007 with 181 views). In the past 24 hours, however, my flickr photostream has had over 45,000 views.  Seven individual photos have recorded over 1,000 views, the most popular is currently sitting on 5,653 (and growing by about 200 every half an hour!)

Most of these high viewings are of pictures taken at the Melbourne Motor Show and posted to flickr three weeks ago.  When I checked flickr Monday night, some of the good motor show pics were nudging 100 views, how does the traffic jump so much almost over night?  Should I be worried that pictures of my kids also scored a lot of hits, or is that just people clicking through the recent postings to the motor show pics?
