Yeah i agree and usually it messes up forums doing this. Its just for show. There is loads of options when you click share and mess with the BBcode. This way you dont have to edit and re size for accywebs filesize limit and use flickr to host the pics. The re sizing is done on the fly automatically.
Though I signed up ages ago(to make a comment) I have no idea why I have never used flickr. Much better than photobucket. Thanks!
The first picture would suggest you have a high field to the rear of you property, this suggests to me a good vantage point for sunsets, night shots with a tripod, panoramics, looks like the worlds your lobster there.
theres a reason why you dont go up there dave ... the reason being you dont know whats in that field ... sometimes sheep, sometimes cows, sometimes bulls plus the owner does not like you trespassing ....

That would be a problem, just a thought, I don't want to encourage trespass, well not openly
Thank you Margaret, I've just spent a lovely twenty minutes or so looking at Davemac's photos, a lot of which I've seen on this thread but without the depth and clarity on Flickr.
Davemac you really are talented, your pictures are beautiful, thank you so much for taking me away into a beautiful place for a while!
Thank you Davemac for sending me the link to Margaret Pilkington's Flickr page, I've just had a look - you are both extremely talented and how pleasant it was to spend a relaxing half hour enjoying them!
Have been tour guide to my cousin and her partner for the last 2 days around Cremona. Took a few pics. Two different examples of Cobbles in Cremona are included -mediaeval and Roman -the roman road is viewable through glass in Via Solferino -it's about 2 and a half metres below current ground level.
In Via Solferino there is a beautiful old shop (established 1836) where I buy certain delicious little sweets, Pastiglie Leone, which have been mentioned on Accyweb in the past! We had a good look round the center and visited the Town Hall and the Stradivarius collection -no photos allowed in there though!We had to wait at the bar and had delicious iced coffee while the BBC were filming the violin collection -they were also filming the Cathedral square after -don't know what programme it will be though!
Tried to get some interesting reflections following Dave Mac's lead...it's hard taking photos with a crutch in hand so I did my best and hope you like them

Today we went off to Manchester.....it looked like it was going to be a lovely sunny day...but mended worse(though not bad in the end).

More for you to look at.
Oh, I should have siad that the two pictures in the previous post were....
1) washing on my next door neighbours line - it made me put some washing in before
we went out.
2) Accrington bus station...taken while I was waiting for the X41.
This set of ten are:-
1) shadows of washing on next doors line
2) scene from the top of the bus.(I bet you thought that Dave had lent me hi s hover boots )
3) Manchester city centre...New Cathedral Street...long shot.
4) Manchester cit centre, New Cathedral Street again, but closer.
5) Market street. Mid morning....wasn't exactly busy, but it did get going later on.
6) Street entertainer. Turning heads.
7) Another one of the street performer..people were coughing up good money to watch him.
8) A thumbs up for the camera - only because I donated to his particular charity.
9) Oh, he has a lovley smile..it melted my socks(and I'm not into that kind of thing)
10) Home for tea....a tomato for my salad...I'd tell you I grew it myself, but 'twould be a lie.

picture two bottom right hand corner reflection, and just a reminder you never sent the last prize I won for spoting Eric. I believe you said it was a car!
Dianne these pictures are worthy of posting on Flickr...and a wider audience.
I loved them. Food for the soul.
They knock my Manchester pictures into a cocked hat.......I was a bit handicapped. I had himself to keep an eye on.
