Alex, un ami Flickr , de Gruyère en Suisse, m'a fait une très belle surprise en venant me voir . Je ne l'avais jamais rencontré et en avais envie depuis longtemps. Sa visite m'a fait d'autant plus plaisir et beaucoup de bien qu'en cette période de grande tristesse, elle m'a changé les idées et fait penser à autre chose....Merci Alex....Et reviens quand tu veux.
Today marks the day when I first started uploading images to flickr.
Since then:

I appreciate all my new flickr friends. From Russia to Thailand to right down the street. I have met some many new wonderful people that have help enrich my life.
I hope that I can keep up the pace of posting image from my first year.
Stay tuned to etravus for exciting "how to tutorials".
Thank you for all your comments and support.
Flickr is my online family.
Special thanks for

In 1739, the British Navy won a victory over Spain for control of the town of Portobelo, Panama. The victory was celebrated to such a degree it led to the naming of many things throughout the British Empire: a road in London, colonial estates in the United States, a peninsula in New Zealand, and a Scottish beach town that has since become engulfed by the urban sprawl of Edinburgh.
During the early years of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the fast-growing town of Portobello became the site of many manufacturing industries, such as brickworks, saltworks, and glassmaking. Given its wide, sandy beach located conveniently close to both the country’s capital and its largest city, Glasgow, Portobello came to be known as a peculiar combination of an industrial and resort town.
The industrial boom in the early 20th century lead to the establishment of Buchan’s Pottery, which built two bottle kilns (so called because of their shape) onsite for its operations. The first was finished in 1906 and the second one three years later. They are the only bottle kilns that are standing in Scotland.
Near the end of the century, Scotland was on its way to becoming a post-industrial economy and many companies would close or relocate operations, Buchan’s among them. The pottery relocated to Crieff across the Firth of Forth in 1972, leaving behind these kilns as a relic of the industrial heritage of Portobello.
The kilns were renovated in 2006, and an accidental, partial collapse of the 1909 kiln required it to be fully rebuilt. Both original and new bricks were used for this renovation, and a brick marked “2013” shows the split between new and old material. As of August 2019, the 1906 kiln is being rebuilt out of the original bricks as well
Flickr Friday - Spin
Martes: Tema libre / Tuesdays: Free Theme (look in discussions "Crazy Tuesday theme")
Flickr used to provide a facility for photographers to quickly and easily upload, comment and fave the work of others. As such it helped create a community of creative people who could share, experiment and learn from each other.
Recent changes have made this very difficult and time consuming to do - what was a joy, has become a chore. The proposed changes are going to make this even more difficult.
I for one have remained simply because I have made a big investment in posting and commenting on photographs - and more importantly - in building relationships with other photographers, whose friendship, support and comments have helped me develop and made the flickr experience such a joy.
However, the spirit of flickr is being eroded as it becomes nothing more that a glorified picture gallery. I do not understand why flickr cannot have it's picture gallery to share with the outside world, while allowing photographers, who are the heart and soul of flickr, to do what they need to do.
So flickr, pay attention, I am protesting because I care, but the message your are giving, is that you have a new business model, and want us to go.
imperfection brings out perfection... ugly extends beauty... bitter enhances sweet... death perfects life... it's the negative which makes the positive wonderful ever...
After joining Flickr in 2007, Meremail has decided it is time for a change, and is going full time on alternative site - Ipernity.
He said that for many years, Flickr met all the requirements for a photo social site and he met many wonderful friends there, but with the latest Flickr developments, he is now too frustrated to continue.
If you wish, you can see more of him at www.ipernity.com/home/meremail/ on this LINK.

I want to thank all my contacts who have been the reason for me to take photos and post them because without an audience, there is nothing. I have had the pleasure of meeting many contacts in person around the world, well 3 countries at least.
The hardest part of departing is leaving contacts, as you might expect, but I understand those that are happy to stay.
For many years, Flickr was the perfect host, in my opinion, but unfortunately the mojo has withered since May 2013. There is no doubt that the changes have made it more difficult to do what we like best, and that is post, share and participate.
This has also had an impact in administering groups which is such a big thing for many Flickr members.
I admit that Ipernity is not perfect, but at least when you have a question or need help, you can lodge a ticket and get a personalised response. Flickr hasn't come to grips with that concept yet.
If this change ultimately doesn't work for me in the longer term, I still have the option to return to Flickr.
If I have made you smile some days, in recent years, I have succeeded where others failed.
Lastly the final verse from Holding Court by a man, a poet, I admire immensely - Clive James
Be pleased that things are simple now, at least,
As certitude succeeds bewilderment.
The storm blew out and this is the dead calm.
The pain is going where the passion went.
Few things will move you now to lose your head
And you can cause, or be caused, little harm.
Tonight you leave your audience content:
You were the ghost they wanted at the feast,
Though none of them recalls a word you said.
Oh, Flickr. While I appreciate the effort to protect my photos, I'm logged in, and you put cookies on my device. Can't you write a little code to establish that, as THE CREATOR, I don't need this pop up when I look at my own photos from my own device? Is that too much to ask from a ginormous on-line enterprise?
Please join the campaign, if you do not like the proposed new flickr layout.
Please download this picture and upload it to your stream on Sunday, January 5, 2014. You can also make your own picture with the text as seen in this picture ( or of similar nature, but make sure to emphasize the boycott ), in any language of your choice. Please circulate it and remember to upload it on Sunday, January 5, 2014 ( or before, if you know you'll be away on January 5 )

Winter Wonderland written in 1934 by Felix Bernard (composer)
and Richard B. Smith (lyricist).
There are lots of interpretations. Here comes Pat Boone:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE8D52xD4uw
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Once again, Flickr have selfishly changed things without thinking about what its members think. I have become used to the last change, and am not happy to protect until I know what I'm protesting about, but agree with my Flickr friends and this time I am happy to support them.
If you have not tried out the beta (or are one of the fortunate ones that did not have it forced upon you) then consider yourselves lucky. Here are just a few of the things one can find in the new Flickr that will be coming our way...
- A tiny area for your description relegated to the upper right corner of your screen. Telling the story behind your photo is no longer important and is hidden (must click a button to see the entire narrative) if the description is more than a sentence or two.
- Links in descriptions are now hidden.
- Descriptions in general are more difficult to format.
- The comment area is tiny as well. Only room for a "nice photo", unless you hit the "more" button. And only four comments are shown...unless you push a "more" button (they do love this "more" button!).
- No graphics can be added to your comments. For some that may mean no awards or group graphics, for others it means no outtakes or additional shots that you may want to have accompany your primary photo.
- Speaking of comments...they are now in reverse order. So, say, you are having a conversation in your comment area it will be more difficult to follow (goodbye community). Also, you cannot reply to more than one person at a time.
- Invitations to groups in comments? You got it, not visible either.
- One last thing on comments. You can't edit them.
- Favorites are now strictly anonymous.
- All lettering is white on a black background. This is very difficult, if not impossible, for some people to read.
- When you click on someone's photo you are basically trapped there, as the Flickr toolbar disappears. The only option you have is to go to their photostream (where the bar will reappear) or use your browser's back arrows. Because this makes navigating so much more cumbersome, I stopped commenting on photos when I was forced into the beta seveal weeks ago.
This is just a small sampling of the issues with the new photopage...let your voices be heard!
Con la nuova piattaforma Beta il Team di Flickr ha intenzione di apportare delle ulteriori modifiche che limiteranno pesantemente gli interscambi tra users:
1 - Non ci sarà più uno spazio bianco sotto le foto per le descizioni, commenti o inviti ai gruppi
2 - Difficile scrivere un commento che contenga più di 3 parole
3 - Non possiamo vedere chi favorisce le nostre foto
4 - Non possiamo vedere in quali gruppi appare la foto
5 - Le immagini degli award non saranno visibili
6 - Gli inviti non saranno più visibili. Gli ultimi appariranno solo in Attività Recente, gli altri andranno perduti.
7 - Per gli Admin diventerà impossibile gestire i gruppi per cui molti chiuderanno.
8 - Le nostre descrizioni, incluse citazioni, link a YouTube o altri siti saranno nascoste
IMPOSSIBILE QUALUNQUE INTERSCAMBIO, NESSUNA VISIBILITA' !!!
