Not sure how to post the picture, and not sure about copyright rules, but I think all of you will enjoy the bing.com homepage for today, and the description of the picture that comes with it.

 

Here you go:

 

That's beautiful. What's the description?

 

On the Bing homepage, they say these trucks were left in the Yukon after being used to build an oil pipeline during WWII.

 

I saved that one. And how can there
be any copy-write on the net? If you
can copy it than it is yours. Right?

 

Yep, it's my Picture now! awesome picture.


Thanks for posting that PHX HAWK Hmmm Roadtrip??

 

For target practice?! Looks like that's what they've been used for. I'm guessing that's an old highway dept. graveyard, looks like up near you?

 

Road Trip? Swing by and pick me up.

 

Beautiful picture

 

That kind of thinking has cost some people a lot of $$$$. Which is why Bing has an info link for the picture that indicates "© Robert Postma/Corbis" the photographer who owns the copyrights to the photo, and who Bing paid a royalty to for it's use.

 

It's actually an old Army dump....

From Bing..
North Canol Road, Yukon, Canada
To help support military posts in Alaska during World War II, the Canadian and United States governments worked together to build a fuel pipeline through the unforgiving northern Canadian wilderness. Construction of the Canol (short for Canadian Oil) Road proved a daunting task.
Harsh conditions dogged the workers at every turn, no matter the season, and although oil began flowing in 1944, the whole project was abandoned just a year later. After the oil pipeline project was abandoned, many service vehicles were simply left behind, like these at the so-called Army Dump, near MacMillan Pass. They now comprise a sort of museum to the Herculean war effort that, despite best intentions and much hard work, never quite lived up to the hopes of those who conceived it.
Today, the 279-mile section of the road in Yukon is maintained by the provincial government, and is open during summer months for recreational use. The portion of the road that still exists in the Northwest Territories has been designated the Canol Heritage Trail.

 

Really cool picture.

 

And even without watermarks or Bing's due diligence in posting owners right, the exif data tied into the file stands up in any court of law. Reposting is not something that most photogs chase in general because it's free advertisement - it's someone that posts it as if it's theirs, manipulates the photo's original look, or cropping is done to strip out a watermark, copyright notifier, or logo. That's when things generally hit the fan.

 

I think i found some of those trucks in this video.
