Royalty-free. Usage: Educational Website. Editorial digital use. One time use only. $ 17.95. Sadly enough that is the second highest sale of my Alamy career.

Hi, cool picture. Although I'd argue alcohol is much worse! By the way, I thought I'd let you know, your image 2BM8CWT of the Shard is labelled as a '95-storey Shark' (which is a pretty big shark!)

Thanks. I'll correct that. Clearly a typo, but I also labelled several images of skylights as skylarks in the past. Somehow I believe Shark wasn't my last mistake.

My goodness, what a spectacular pic! 😲

Thank you. Illustrating what I'm missing the most at the moment, after family and friends (some of them, anyway 😏 )

If you have some kind of "spellcheck" it can be treacherous. It would very likely want to turn shard into shark.

Speaking of distribution, I have two today with bulk discounts for editorial websites in Estonia and Lithuania. Tiny, tiny money but after a fabulous day yesterday I am not going to complain. I don't think I've ever had 5 sales in a 2 day period before...  I don't usually get sales for my lions so I will put that one here. This was on a wonderful day when our guide Henry (very well-known and highly regarded guide in the Masai Mara) had noticed a lioness leaving when the pride was eating and he figured she had cubs somewhere. He was right and we had a fabulous morning...

I don't. It was just my mind playing tricks on me. I can understand how I've used a bit more familiar word instead of the right one. That sort of thing happens easily when your using some other than your mother language. Once in Italy I ordered a bottle of Pirelli instead of Peroni, poor waitress, trying to be polite and hold her laugh...

This $$ sale completes a 5 day in a row run of sales, though I don’t seem to get much of it so I guess it must be distribution; for a French newspaper. Sunset over the Pacific on Easter Island.

Clearly an image from before Corona/Covid.

One of 7 today. Jay! Oops three of those are refunds/resales of yesterday's five. The rest will probably follow. All 3 distro to Germany btw but different usage. (Scratching head.)

Earlier on a re-fund for a $$ PU. Now a different PU for $. (More head scratching.)

So only one today, just minutes ago. Not this one, this is one of the three distro's all about Amsterdam. It's an electric boat with a girls wine party on the Amstel River with the Magere Brug /Skinny Bridge. From my own electric boat, an inflatable dinghy.  Mid $$ - direct mail and travel brochure.

 

Maybe the German distributor has some Corona discount going on. Or Alamy has some sort of Corona discount going on for German distributors. 😷

My Baltimore calendar use sold thru a German distributor, has been refunded and re-billed at nearly half the original sale price, today.

But that would have had Calendar as the usage. One of mine was Television.

Are we missing a huge crash of the Dollar or the Pound somewhere? 😂

This just sold for $245. The most a RF image of mine has brought. Direct sale.

Banana pudding, made by layering vanilla pudding, sliced bananas and vanilla wafer cookies. Yum.

Thank you, Alamy.

Well done. I'd call that a "tummy pack" rather than an "image pack" sale. 😊

Who knows what pix will sell? This one was licensed today. Decent price too. I hope the 'neighbour issue' has been sorted out...

John, did you enter this in the May contest, signs? If not, you should. It’s that good. A winner to me.

This happened to my sale too. It got refunded and resold for 40% less today. 😒
