Bath, England

Just a quickie post to say I am writing this from an internet cafe in Bath, England.

I am down here with my lovely wife celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary (yes I am old). This is our first visit here and I must admit despite the miserable English rain we are having a really good time.

There is so much history and variety that I don’t think that two days will be enough to see it all. Bath is very different to many other English towns. There is very little new building going on and everywhere looks really old and historical.

I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are in England give it a try – although try and chosse a sunny day!

National Photo Company Collection

Inside the website of The Library of Congress lies ‘the prints and photographs collections’ There you will find over 13 million unique images, including photographs, posters, prints, drawings and engineering and architectural drawings. The images are particularly useful in documentation of the history of the US, lives, achievements and interests of the American people. There are also many International images in the collection.

There are some very complicated terms of use but basically the less commercial the use the better chance of free use. Ie educational purpose = no problem, sell as stock images=get permission
