Random thoughts and observations
I’ve made changes again to my online photo storage. I alternate between wanting to use a third-party service like Flickr and hosting them myself.
It probably makes more sense to use Flickr, because they will stay there indefinitely without costing me anything (although I have a Pro account) and there’s a user community to share and comment on pictures.
I took a few more photos around Mile End this afternoon and added them to my Flickr set.
The railway station is about 400 metres from my place. I hear the freight trains go through at night.
For suburban trains, Mile End is on the Belair, Noarlunga and Tonsley lines. It is the nearest stop to Adelaide, just two kilometres away.
This post contains images of Mile End, South Australia, and surrounding areas including Thebarton, Keswick and the western Adelaide parklands.
The set can also be viewed on Flickr.
Today I discovered the outstanding Picture Australia website.
According to the About page: Picture Australia is an internet-based service that allows you to search many significant online pictorial collections at the same time.
When you do a search on Picture Australia, thumbnail images are retrieved from participating institutions on the fly and inserted into the search results.
There are lots of angry people in the world and local newspapers do a good job of reporting them. In fact, local newspapers would struggle to fill their pages if it wasn’t for all the anger out there.
A dedicated website publishes press photographs of angry people. As the author says: “I feel sorry for local news photographers. They are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and sent out to photograph miserable people pointing at dog turds. Here, we celebrate their work.”
