The one thing I hate about Flickr is that you gotta pay to have a resolution higher than 1024x768.

Luckily Wikimedia Commons allows you to upload any size for free! See the full size here as an example:

Just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that I've added scores of New Jersey photos to my Flickr account from a recent trip I made around the Garden State.  There's some pictures from the recent Northern New Jersey road meet, a jaunt around South Jersey and more!  Abandoned roads, cool old shields, even older bridges and even AAA signage adorn the photo collection.

Check it out at...

Next on the agenda, some photos from Central New York State, plus wherever the open road takes me this weekend.

I just tried to upload a new flickr photo on another thread, and it didn't work.

I've been uploading a lot of road photos lately.  My most recent offerings come from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  I took a nice trip around PA over Easter weekend, getting photos from southeastern and central PA.  Also took a trip last weekend around the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, both in PA and NJ.  Enjoy the photos!

Here's a smorgasbord of photos from "La belle province" of Quebec, many of which I took last weekend from the Montreal area, the Gatineau area and the Eastern Townships.

I've added a large number of photos from a recent trip to Ottawa and eastern Ontario (it was part of the same trip that took me into Quebec).  Check all of them out at...

I've uploaded photos of new (December 2009) I-80 signage through Salt Lake City, as well as more three-digit state highway shield weirdness in Tooele. UDOT (and/or its contractors) cannot make up its mind! SR-201 through western Salt Lake as well.

A Parish Route shield in Houma, LA.  It is unusual to see a traditional blue and gold county route shield with a "PARISH" name in it, but Louisiana has parishes instead of counties.   It would make sense for this, but nonetheless found it interesting to shoot.

Just like GA, the Bayou State has "SPUR" designations also.

Just to let you know that I have uploaded some new construction photos of the under construction interchange of TOLL Roads FL 414 and FL 429 near Apopka, FL.  This will allow for continuation of FL 414 as well as turning in the northern one mile of FL 429 into a spur of FL 414 re- numbered TOLL FL 451.  FL 429 will be realigned so that it will be a directional interchange (not seen in photos) to the west of this construction and both 414 and 429 will run concurrent into the proposed Wekiva Parkway.

I've uploaded new road photos from a trip into Washington State this summer onto my Flickr account.  Enjoy some new photos from Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula, along with some old favorites around the Evergreen State.

I finally moved from my crappy self-hosted gallery to flickr. I'll upload one or two sets per week (could be less, but that's my goal...) until I've cleared my current backlog, then continue with the stuff I had on my other site.

my first Flickr photo set!  I'm learning how to take better pictures for next trip. Clean the windshield, and have a better view of the freeway, not just the BGS. There are some Texas I-30 shields I found in Arlington, TX in this set!

simple question I know, but can someone explain how to post a picture in the reply box from Flickr? Thanks. I know you must answer this often.

Yep! Go click "Reply" instead of using the Quick Reply box. You'll see an Insert Image icon on the second row, third icon from the left.

Photos from my trip to Watertown, NY are up on my Flickr page (four sets covering four days):

Just photos for now, no commentary. Once the commentary is done and I get links to my EveryTrail tracks done, it'll all be available on the Millennium Highway roadtrips page.

During my recent move, one of the things that that I turned up was a box of photos and negatives taken with my old 35mm camera during the late 1990s. Another thing I turned up was a negative scanner. Put two and two together and you have a set of photos on Flickr:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbelkins/sets/72157627627216365/

These are mostly older signs that have been replaced, unusual signs and sign goofs. Most of them are already on my Web site in various places but these are fresh scans, all in one place.

Some of these will definitely qualify for "best of road signs," "worst of road signs" and "signage goofs" threads here.

excellent - an actual in-the-field photo of '57 spec Kentucky I-65.  right now all the shield gallery had was a mockup of that particular route number and state.

Those were taken in Mammoth Cave National Park. There were a lot of old I-75 shields in the Richmond area that looked similar, but of course I was too young to know I should have gotten my dad to stop and let me take a picture of them when we went through there when I was a kid.

if they're in a National Park, those shields might still be around.  sometimes jurisdiction changes like that cause shields to survive a lot longer than they should.  for example, the last known MINNESOTA/US shield is at the exit of a state park.

I've been in the LaFayette, LA recently for work (currently in LaFayette as I type this).  Here are some road shots I've taken on some evening trips when I've had free time.
