Hadrian's Wall, for example, has been plundered for 'dressed' building stone ever since the Romans left. But, hey, if you had to choose between building materials that you could just pick up for free, or building materials that had to be quarried with great effort... what would you do?
Still happens, I believe the Great Wall of China gets shorter by a few hundred yards every year.
Discussing the merits of throwing stones in the pond.
Barely taken a pic in the last three weeks: too busy, bad weather, etc. Here's a shot from yesterday: a little, local stone circle. Not exactly Stonehenge... but a nice place for an afternoon stroll...
omg looks like stonehenge is dying. clearly blame it on global warming...

Great expressions and color. That #2 man sure has the psychology thing going, doesn't he? Red and yellow. Wicked helmet. Great glare. Ready to kick Baby Blue's buns!

Do you know this downloads at 300 dpi? That's press quality if someone felt like stealing it. I deleted it after reading the EXIF data.
Edit: Everything in your Flickr feed is 300 dpi, too. Just my observation.

this is true, those particular photos are ones I don't plan on selling or making money off of. Ones I do for that purpose don't make their way online generally, and that is my export for printing. I probably should tone it down, and I will in the future. Thanks for pointing that out.
Either way, the story for that game ran and the papers photog's had MUCH nicer shots of me, but then again they had 300 f/2.8's and monopods and I didn't!
It's only a bit over 1500px wide, which would only create a slightly over 5x3" print at 300dpi. While that may have some value, probably not a lot. All my picasaweb shots are maxxed out at 1600px wide, which aren't really commercially viable, but might be good enough for someone to dl them for personal use.
Thanks for the comment on the riders. Regarding the red suited biker - probably 70% of the folks were in costume Halloween weekend, so it made for some interesting outfits on bikes. I'll post a few of them as the days go by just for the fun of it.
Lovely atmospheric shot... though I'd have waited for the guy to take a few more steps, so he was 'framed' by trees...
Part of my past Sunday stroll around my home, fog / mistiness....
I was actually tracking some deer, what this shot missed 2 seconds after I took it 2 deer were jumping thru the field......I barely missed them! That was the shot I was going after (and I'm sure each of you have similar stories)

Thanks Doylem. I agree, I didn't see that detail. The (older) man I had just convinced (by gestures) to walk through, so I could "use" him for my picture.
Gotten Misty here too.
