Making responsive gallery HTML/CSS

Question

I'm trying to create a responsive gallery using HTML/CSS like in here:

Thats my HTML and CSS:

<div id="flow" class="container-fluid clear">
    <div id="photographies">
        {% for photo in photographies %}
            <div class="flow-photo {% if loop.index0 is odd %}odd{% endif %}">
                <a href="{{ path('photo', { id: photo.getId }) }}"><img id="{{ photo.getId }}" src="{{ photo.getImage }}"></a>
                <div class="info">
                    <div class="description">
                        <h1>{{ photo.getTitle }}</h1>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
</div>

#flow {background:#f1f1f1;padding: 0.5% 1%;}
.flow-photo {width:49.5%;float:left;margin:0.5% 0;}
.odd {margin-left:1%}
.flow-photo>a>img {width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:2px 2px 0 0;}
.info {background:#fff;border-radius:0 0 2px 2px;text-align:left;padding:7px}
.info h1 {margin:0;font-weight:700;font-size:11px;}

With this current code I'm getting next grid

The third div is not in the right place, because the first one is longer then second, so after second div there is a chaos.

If I add after every second div clear:both , I get this:

There are gaps, because some of divs are longer than others. That's not what I want.

What should I do to get responsive gallery like in my first picture?

You can create masonry layout with flexbox. Here is the example:

<div class="masonry-layout">
  <div class="masonry-layout__panel">
    <div class="masonry-layout__panel-content">
      <-- CONTENT HERE -->
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="masonry-layout__panel">
    <div class="masonry-layout__panel-content">
      <-- CONTENT HERE -->
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="masonry-layout__panel">
    <div class="masonry-layout__panel-content">
       <-- CONTENT HERE -->
    </div>
  </div>
  <-- FOLLOWING CONTENT PANELS -->
</div>

And here is the css, column-count is how much columns you will have, in your case that will be 2.

.masonry-layout {
  column-count: 2;
  column-gap: 0;
}
.masonry-layout__panel {
  break-inside: avoid;
  padding: 5px;
}
.masonry-layout__panel-content {
  padding: 10px;
  border-radius: 10px;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
   .masonry-layout {
     column-count: 1;
     column-gap: 0;
   }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {
   .masonry-layout {
     column-count: 2;
     column-gap: 0;
   }
}

Please see below code example. This contains text but you can replace this with images.

CSS and HTML code

 *, *:before, *:after { box-sizing: border-box !important; } article { -moz-column-width: 13em; -webkit-column-width: 13em; -moz-column-gap: 1em; -webkit-column-gap: 1em; } section { display: inline-block; margin: 0.25rem; padding: 1rem; width: 100%; background: #efefef; } p { margin: 1rem 0; } /* styles for background color, etc; not necessary for this thing to work */ body { padding: 1em; font-family: "Garamond", serif; } h1 { font-size: 3rem; font-weight: 800; } body { line-height: 1.25; } p { text-align: left; }
