I love those images.

This speaks volumes about you, as a person. All good. Especially since one of your kindnesses is that you generously share your pleasures with those of us out here whom you have never met.RLM Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218851852114927602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-54941909581723763182010-04-26T16:54:22.577+01:002010-04-26T16:54:22.577+01:00Roy : I suspect we have similar approaches, simila...Roy : I suspect we have similar approaches, similar folders, and probably a good few similar files.<br />Vincent : Generally I would agree with you but the one advantage of digital is that you can collect unfettered by the restraints of the capitalist hegemony in that there is no cost involved.<br />Tony : Looking at the advert it is a miracle it has survived because it must break at least six basic rules of modern advertising law.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-82491269675095561022010-04-26T16:42:41.226+01:002010-04-26T16:42:41.226+01:00It's nice to know such images havnt gone up in...It's nice to know such images havnt <i>gone up in smoke.........</i>tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746435400444226665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-87233370968645425672010-04-26T15:10:37.403+01:002010-04-26T15:10:37.403+01:00Aloisius: my advice is to print.

I have a folder on my hard drive called "Graphics" just full of stuff I've found online - cartoons, celebrity portraits (mostly used for my posts on <b>Just A Song</b> and In Memoriam posts), and just generally things that caught my eye. There's a whole sub-folder of copies of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, ditto one of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, both used to create slide shows set to particular pieces of music (the Pre-Raphaelite one was set to Loreena McKennitt's musical setting of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shallot"). And all kinds of art and artistic shots that I use for inspiration. It's a pretty big folder!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-19904469724686347662010-04-26T14:35:49.164+01:002010-04-26T14:35:49.164+01:00Martin H : I remember the steam loco well.

I can't think of a better way to spend 4.99. I think the digital cigars might be a lot better for you, though! I wonder how long it will take you to get through all 14,000 images?

To see the workings exposed that way, was a revelation.<br /><br />Sounds as though you got a bargain disk for £4.99.
