The last request of last month was for city scene.
A pessimist sees a dark tunnel
An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel
A realist sees a frieght train
An engineer sees three idiots standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space
A small city!

"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Got it!

Nice bridge Rich. Maybe a 'float-bridge' is a stretch, but it does move when rising and falling with the tide. Show more bridges please. Regards, Peter

I've been mostly absent from these forums for a while. I'm surprised there were so few entries in this thread for November and I don't see a new thread for December yet. In the past, last months thread would have been locked by now. What gives? Has interest in this ongoing subject waning?

That would explain only 8 entries in Weekend Photo Fun. What was the reason for the lockdown?

richhotrainThere has been a mass migration from this forum since the weekend lockdown a few weeks ago.
Besides the access setback I believe there is mounting frustration over the 'popup' ads that are causing grief for those people who use their telephones to access the internet.
It seems these ads overpower the tiny, little screens on these telephones making it difficult to make a response or navigate the site. So, multiple issues, really.
Cheers, Ed
It looks to me like Kalmbach doesn't value this forum much as a resource. They're in business to make money and I can appreciate that but I'm wondering if they have found out it's not producing the advertising revenue they had hoped for.
All of print media is struggling to survive in this digital world. I'm surprised it has hung in as long as it has. It wouldn't surprise me to see MR be entirely an electronic publication five years from now, but I probably would have said the same thing five years ago, so who knows.
