Nice ! That top one looks to be in fine fettle. Bottom one looks great too. I wonder how they last so well over there ? mild wet climate like GB, the old cars soon turn in to rust buckets ! There's a couple of these for sale on a classic car website at present, one for £8k, the other for £12,000. It'll take a while to get one with Alamy sales tho..

I expect Alamy are well aware of unpaid/uncleared sales. I have asked Alamy to chase them up in the past, sometimes it might get Alamy to nudge their customers to cough up. Also, Alamy may be doing what it can to recover uncleared funds. I've had cases where either the customer or the distributor have gone bust. So no money for any of us ☹️ Another time a sale cleared after 3 and a half years ! Alamy had to go down the legal route for that one.

Some very calm water here .... A man strolls along a walkway across the Marine Lake on Clevedon seafront during a calm winter's day. Clevedon, North Somerset, UK.

That's encouraging for us all. Well done !

BBC News website.... Alamy is listed in the credits, so if you have photographs of a moose head or Finland, then take a look and see if yours is there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/MtJYmYFONq/finland_carbon_neutral_in_15_years

Sadly there isn't always a rainbow. I went there in 1996, and there was hardly any water flowing at all. Don't know if it was the dry season. I do remember being in a greasy spoon cafe eating a cottage pie in Vic Falls, and thru the window I saw an elephant trundle pass along the road !

Like Rico above, scanning (well, someone else is for me) old stuff, from the 90s into the 00s. Always wanted to have a photograph that was high contrast showing a jazz musician, and managed to find one in my archive ! Pete Judge, of the drum & trumpet duo Eyebrow, who produce an electronic ambient jazz style of minimalist music. Photographed in the Prince Albert pub, Stroud in the UK in November 2010.

Alamy can put a restriction on all your of images for no Personal Use if you ask them to. That'll save you checking each individual image then.

Fine dining.......British style. B & J's Lunch Box, a roadside lay-by snack van, on the A442 road in Shropshire, UK.

Why ? ...... .....there's more money in 'creative' imagery than editorial. Some smaller libraries only want creative work for their clients. I think Bill's wintry forest image above is great. See that being used as a fiction book cover image. Mood and feeling, not too descriptive, room for copy space etc...

First licence of the year. Boring picture I know, but it illustrates the point clearly. UK magazine use. Road sign for a shared user road space area in central Gloucester, UK.
