Blue Rope
Funny things happen in Flickr, View wise. Nobody looks at this photo for months. Then there is a dozen or so views in the last few days. Well then, can't complain - and I'm not - as long as people are looking. Similar comment with another photo of mine in Flickr called "Goods Inwards" - although with different viewing figures.

lac d'Annecy
Here is another photo, posted to my photostream some time ago - Oct 2005 - which has been achieving recent views (during the last week or so) in Flickr. Cant think why. I can understand another of my photos - "At Salem" - again uploaded to Flickr a while ago - getting recent hits - after all the subject matter is Halloween which is just around the corner, but a photo of boats on Lac d'Annecy ? As always, I'm sure there is a good reason. Annecy is candidate for a future Winter Olympic games perhaps ? Perhaps not, but as long as the hits keep on coming .....

At Salem
I was looking through my photostream on Flickr yesterday, only to notice that this picture - taken and posted some time ago - had registered another viewing - the first for a little while. How time flies, it is October already, Halloween is a couple of weeks away and beyond that Christmas, New Year and winter.
Looking at the picture, my caption (October 31st, Salem, Mass ...) and title ("At Salem") reminded me of several memorable vacations spent in Massachusetts at this time of year. The Fall colours are stunning and well worth visiting the area for this reason alone - and there are many other reasons.
Anyways - back to the picture - taken on Halloween in the town of Salem, of witch burning fame. Salem is just north of Boston, on the Atlantic coast.If you haven't got a car you can take a train from North Station in Boston - Salem in on the commuter line out to Rockport - on its way to Salem the train stops at Chelsea, and after that it continues to Manchester and then Gloucester - familiar names to a UK resident.
Salem seems to base its tourist industry on the fame (infamy ?) - with witch museums and so on (tacky for some) - but when I was there a year or so ago on October 31st, it seemed like a movie set with people moving around the streets dressed up in costumes and having some fun - and this was still in daylight.

lac d'Annecy
I'm posting this entry from my Flickr photostream. This image, of sail boats being towed across Lac d'Annecy in France, has "achieved" 24 viewings, 1 favourite and 17 comments so far today at the time of writing. Not my most popular or interesting image ever (my Richmond Park in Winter used in this Photoblog banner has had more attention) nor is it the most popular in Flickr, but it is good to see some of my images being noticed.
