General and Off Topic Pictures

Post by Tyranus »

Folks,

While it's nice to see people sharing their photos, please remember the purpose of WARSUG. Ideally, the photos in this area of the site should be relevant in some way to the other sections, e.g. WAPOL, Ambulance Services, FESA, CB Radio, etc.

However, sometimes there are good pictures that simply don't fit anywhere else. To avoid cluttering up the Pictures section with interesting yet off-topic photos, please place them in here. That way, forum members with no interest in off-topic pictures can simply ignore this thread.

Please remember however that we still expect the same standards of decency and decorum to apply in here as we would anywhere else on the site. Inappropriate images will be removed and the people posting them will be dealt with appropriately.

Before posting an image in here, please make sure that firstly it is your own work, and secondly that despite it not being directly relevant to one of the forum section headings, that you genuinely believe that it would be of interest to a significant number of other forum members or visitors.

Thanks,

Spotted a pair of raptors at work on Thursday. Never seen these there before.. eagle? I get a lot of hawks, sea hawks and assorted other raptors at work. These were strutting around on my lawn, (doing the eagle rock I guess) One flew off before I had the camera ready. Got him/her in a tree next to my workshop. Couldn't get any closer without a chainsaw. Any ideas what they might be?

Look like hawks, the colour/shading can vary from place to place.

Golden Silk Orb Weavers at my work. They appear at the beginning of the year for a few months. The females get pretty huge.

Personally I use photobucket because by default it lets you show bigger pictures which means that people don't have to click on 6 different pictures to see your photo's the just scroll down. Might take a bit long to load, but I prefer it personally.

You can do that with imageshack images as well. They're just images with a regular URL
