Maybe I'm missing a trick there. I've tried drag and drop, copy and paste but nothing sticks in the dialogue box. I put the image code into the search box in the Alamy homepage or in My Alamy to open the image, then click on the image, and then click on enlarge. Then it can be dragged into the forum (open in a different window). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Not a beautiful thing, a brutalist coal bunker at a steel works. I spotted this heading past in the train and then shot it on the return journey through the train window. Unknown to me at the time, a couple of days later it was to be controversially demolished - its listed status being revoked. There were photos in the papers, but not mine, late to the party and not eligible for live news. 🙃 Edited September 22, 2021 by Bryan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thanks, Chuck. That's a film conversion and as far as I recall it's been on Alamy for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a male with a bower next door to our fence for years. We and the neighbours called him "Blackie" and he came when we called. I used to chop a little apple or pear for him most days and would go into yard and he'd fly onto the fence when I called and then down next to his bower. The neighbours did better and hand fed him chopped grape. Very sadly, a cat got him a couple of years ago, but now the neighbour on the other side has a bower - one of Blackie's sons no doubt. We have up to a dozen at a time on our bird feeding/bathing area waiting for one of the three birdbaths to be available for them, Mostly green females and immature males but we also have one who is turning black now. He's quite skittish though, and hasn't allowed me to get a photo "yet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost track of the number of times I laid on my stomach trying to get the perfect 'see through' picture of the bower with the decorations in the foreground. I found the Great Bowerbird species very accommodating, not shy at all. I even got one coming to display underneath my chair. I kept telling him 'stand back, you're below the minimum focusing distance!' I love watching them doing their silly droopy wings dance, purple crest erect. Such a joy to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing what one learns about bird behavior through the lens of a camera, or camera down waiting for an opportunity. The courting is especially wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Man hurrying into a polling station during the Canadian federal elections that were held on September 20th. Not sure why he was in such a rush as the whole thing turned out to be an expensive farce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yesterday morning I had an early morning shoot of three neurosurgeons who work out of the Georgetown University Hospital and I had to use the old Healy Hall as the backdrop so I took a few snaps of "National Historic Landmark" while I was at it, for stock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
