I think this is what we had in mind when we said we hoped GM wouldn't go overboard with the new led's.:)
I agree don :-)
1. Excellent find, love this image.
2. Shame on you for not citing the image source.
Most likely from RebeccaMich, or a derivative thereof.Quote:

Well people shouldn't have to be told to credit the creator. It's disrespectful, not to mention against forum rules and flickr rules.Quote:

Ah the joy of Photoshop!

Over the years I have acquired a large number of old photos taken in and around the small town where I grew up [[and which has no historical society). I've spent considerable time researching them so that I could write an accurate caption for each one. I then created a web site where I display the uploaded photos and captions on various web pages. Over the past 8 years, I've averaged about 7,000 visitors and 18,000 page views annually to that web site. Pretty good traffic for a web site about a town that maxed out at 10,000 residents in 1970. I have no advertising on this or any of my other web sites and I make no money from them - they are there for all to enjoy.
However, due to "hotlinking" and other abuses of my generosity, I am no longer updating that web site as I acquire additional old images.
Recently, an "I grew up in ...." Facebook group was created, which I soon joined and which now includes 500+ members. One day, I noticed that a new group member had uploaded a dozen or so of the old photos that are on my site. He added very little information in the caption of "his" photos and where he did, several of them had dates that were off by 10 or more years. A couple of group members challenged his more obvious caption errors and others asked where he had found the old photos, to which he simply replied, "on the Internet". It was left to me to add a comment to each of "his" photos, in which I
a) copied and pasted my original caption for that photo
b) credited myself as the source of the photo and caption information
c) included a link to my web site where others could find additional similar photos.
If you are going to share a "find" with others, the least you can do is provide a link to the location where you found it. The person who put it there for you to enjoy will benefit from the added traffic you send their way and those who click on the link you provide will benefit from possibly finding additional images that they will enjoy.
