There is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter. Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image, showing ONLY the last 4 comments.
- White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes.
- Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words.
- We can't see who faved our pictures.
- We can't see the groups the pictures appear in (except only 8).
- Awards images. are not shown.
- Invitations are not visible (except for the last ones only in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost.
- For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible.
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures.
- They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers.
- Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden.
- NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE!
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones.
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care what we users want. But they want us to pay for all their new nonsence.
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is” Hi” or “Lol”.
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers.... (nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning).
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .
How many people know what represents the Beta Page?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them. Users of any other language have not been informed....
All this is very discouraging.
I will be out for an indefinite period for medical reasons.
I will not be able to comment on pictures for I can’t sit for a long period. I am going to miss everyone so much for I love my flickr family.
Would like to take this time to wish each and everyone of you a
Very Special Thanksgiving.
Nice comments without pictures or badges are welcome. .
As Flickr is a sharing site I only add my pictures to public groups, .
Photography training courses available, please email for details.

His Military Cross citation (June 1944) reads:
'Temporary Lieutenant (A/Captain) John Philip BLAKE, Royal Marines. For outstanding gallantry and leadership shown while serving with the 43rd Royal Marine Commando in the attack which led to the capture of Mt Ortino, Italy on 3rd February 1944. On reaching the top of the Mount, through heavy machine gun fire, without hesitation and heedless of the danger from grenades, he led the forward section of his Troop in a bayonet charge on the enemy position and captured 20 prisoners. Later in the day during a strong enemy counter attack, this gallant officer moved from position to position encouraging his men and directing their fire. MC-LG 27 June 1944.'

Obituary, The Shirburnian, March 1945:
Captain John Philip Blake, M.C. (Royal Marines). John Blake came to Sherborne as a teacher of Mathematics in September 1939, spending only one term here before joining the Royal Marines. He was present at the Dakar incident and remained in the tropics for a large part of 1940-41 before being transferred to the Mediterranean. In July 1943, he joined the 43rd R.M. Commando and commanded a troop of 70 men. He went to Italy in January 1944, was awarded the Military Cross "for his outstanding gallantry and leadership shown while serving with the 43rd R.M. Commando in the attack on Mt. Ornito on 3rd February"; was present at the Anzio landing, and later crossed over to the Dalmatian Islands. He returned to Italy and on 13th June was reported missing as the result of leading an attack on a German strong point. His death in action was confirmed at the beginning of August.
Few will ever know the tremendous loss the School has sustained. It is hard to realise that such a splendid personality will not return to give us of his best, as it was his impatient desire to be able to do.
The essence of John Blake's character was naturalness and simplicity. His successes at school and university were more than enough to turn his head, but he never showed the slightest sign of conceit nor any desire to find his friends chiefly from among the athletically successful. He was Head of his Preparatory School at Emsworth and captain of all games; Head of the School and of Mead's House at Aldenham, where he was also captain of cricket and a school colour for fives and hockey. At Cambridge he won his Blue for cricket, was a member of the University Wanderers Hockey Club and of the Hawks Club, and was captain of Cricket and Hockey at St. John's. But no one would ever learn these things from his own lips. Amongst his own interests cricket stood out pre-eminently. All his letters to me contained some reference to it, no matter what time of year it might be. Sound and stylish bat though he was, it was his fielding which most impressed and gave such pleasure to all who saw him play. Whether he was playing for Cambridge or Hampshire or in some club match or on the village green, it was equally keen and polished, a perfect expression of himself. He had a most retentive brain and great powers of concentration.
But the most outstanding features of his life were his deep devotion to his family and to his faith and the enormous enjoyment he got out of life and friendship. He made friends wherever he went, for he entered whole-heartedly into the joys and sorrows of others in a natural way. All his officers stressed that he was a born leader of men and that all his men were so proud of him and so fond of him and talked of his outstanding personality. Perhaps the words of his Commanding Officer to his parents sum him up as well as words can: "John's loss to you is irreparable, as it is to the Corps and to the nation - an officer of his quality is quite irreplaceable".
R.S. Thompson (Housemaster of Westcott House 1936-1952)
Old Shirburnian Society Annual Report, November 1944:
'Blake, John Philip, M.C. (Staff), was educated at Aldenham where he was Head of the School and Captain of the XI. He later went to St John's College, Cambridge and was Captain of the College Cricket and Hockey teams. He obtained a cricket blue in 1939. He joined the Staff at Sherborne in 1939 but left on being gazetted to the Royal Marines being attached to the Commandos. He was awarded the Military Cross for outstanding gallantry and leadership in the attack which led to the capture of Mount Ormito in February last. He was reported Missing in June last and is now known to have lost his life.'
Headmaster’s Letter to Parents and Governors, July 1945:
‘We shall miss sadly John Blake, Captain, Royal Marines who was killed in Italy leading his platoon against a German strongpoint. He had already shown himself to be a most gallant and capable officer and his services had been rewarded by the award of the Military Cross. Although John Blake had only been one term at Sherborne before he joined up he had already endeared himself to all of us here and shown that he was going to be a really fine schoolmaster and a brilliant teacher of Mathematics.’

Hey Sneederonies,
Thanks for following, liking and commenting on past my work. Perhaps even this work.
Last week I went to take pictures of the beautiful George Washington Bridge. I attempted to walk it but I am afraid of heights and afraid of water, so I chickened out :-(
The sky was so beautiful. I am a cloud freak. It was a rain storm, so the clouds were so gray and volumnous; just gorgeous. As I as a photographer, I am just thinking on how do I capture this moment without getting my camera wet. Hahahah. And yes, of course, my camera got wet but not too bad.
Here are the many angles of the George Washington Bridge and everything that I saw on the way there.
All images are raw, unedited, and unfiltered.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Sneed

If you know anything about this car, it's specs, it's history, please post a comment.
2012. the year of the vintage (made between 1919 and 1930), veteran (pre-1919) and old.
No Classic cars (That comes in the 2013 run).
For more information look at www.baytobirdwood.com.au/the_run.html
I got to the grounds early (about 6am) and watched the oval fill from nothing. 1800 cars were expected for the biggest event of this type in the world.
From the website
"The sun will not yet have risen over the Adelaide Hills when the very first vehicles start arriving at Adelaide Shores. It may only be 6am but the excitement will already be palpable as these marvellous veteran, vintage and early classic vehicles ready themselves for the biennial Bay to Birdwood Run.
Breakfast With The Cars has become a tradition and this is the spectators' opportunity to mix 'n mingle with entrants and their vehicles. Enjoy a range of breakfasts provided by local service organisations washed down with jazz and other vintage entertainment, line the start ahead of the flag off by the one and only Glen Dix at 8:30 am and be a part of this icon event. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for all entrant vehicles to depart on the route to Birdwood - give them a send off they won't forget!
Vehicles head down West Beach Road after the official Start turning right into Tapleys Hill Road then left into Anzac Highway. Their journey through metropolitan Adelaide en route to the Finish at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood enables the spectators who line the 72km route each year to see Australia's greatest motoring show on wheels pass right in front of them - 2 hours of motoring history!"
The cars need to meet strict guidelines and the drivers and passangers are encouraged to dress in period clothes.
"Only those motor vehicles built and at ready for sale stage on or before 31 December 1955 are eligible to take part.
The onus of proof of date of build is the responsibility of the entrant and if required by the Committee must be substantiated and be supported by a Statutory Declaration. In the event of false information being supplied all entry monies will be forfeited.
All motor vehicles must be substantially to manufacturers' specifications, roadworthy and of acceptable standard of quality in the opinion of the Committee."
I enjoyed the ride. We passed many broken down cars whilst gliding along in my fathers Jowett Javelin.
We ended up in the fields behind the Birdwood Mill. We looked through the muesum and also the best dressed cars in the Concours d'Elegance. We listened to period music and poked about amongst the cars.

Same again - another night in at home.
A little something different today as my Flickr stats tell me I've hit 250,000 total views. Quarter of a million visits in a little under four years make me happy.
I figured I'd have a look back at what Flickr tells me are my most 'popular' photos according to their four measures — interesting, views, favourites and comments.
So here are my nine most 'commented' shots. A bit more colour here, with only one mono photo putting in an appearance. Two taken at an airshow, three during a brief excursion to London last year, two through the living room window, one shot round the corner and one still life.
Thanks for your views, everyone — very much appreciated.

Saturday night in Derby with the lovely Ann. We went to The Crown then round the corner to the Bishop Blaize, before trying a micro-pub called Suds & Soda, before heading back to the Crown for the end of the night.

Friday. And all you can eat breakfast set us up for the day. Friday night we went for amazing food at Lawson's restaiurant (one we had found last visit to Lincoln) then on to Carousel then Popworld to finish the night.
