In Flight photos

Post by Lonestranger »

The cold weather and other factors have limited my photography over the past few months, so here's a shot from back in October 2025.

Very curious to find out if Flickr will automatically embed the image here as it does elsewhere.

Hmmm, photo wasn't automatically embedded but the attachment tab only appears to work with local photos stored on my computer/phone, with no option for linking/displaying online photos. Will need to figure out how to share Flickr images without finding/downloading them on my hard drive.

Looks like bbcode can't do that automatically. Of course if you figure out the static URL of the image, it's easy enough to insert it using the "insert image" function, but that violates Flickr's terms unless you additionally use the "link" function to make the image a link to the Flickr image holder page.

Sorry.

I simply had to click on the Share icon in Flickr and select the BBCode option that Flickr assigned to the image. Copying and pasting the right code seems to have solved my Flickr upload issue.

There were a half dozen or so flocks of Tundra Swans flying past yesterday, March 10, 2026. Their unusual call attracted my attention and prompted me to grab the camera. Not a very good shot due to the distance, but I wouldn't be able to get them all in the frame if I zoomed in tighter. Rough counts of around 150 swans in each flock.
