Most Images on the Site have been Watermarked - I have resisted this for 10 years but some unscrupulous people still persist in taking images from the site and using them on their own sites and blogs without asking. I have made this as unobtrusive as possible and I do hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the site. Do let me know what your thoughts are, good or bad.
