Henry;

Since this happens on the computer's EDGE browser and since I can view all your images on my Samsung cellphone, here's what I found:

I used to be able to see the same photos years ago when you posted them to the forum and the Challenge thread.

Since the Windows 10 upgrades the security settings and the Edge browser interface and settings changed from day to day. Security may be a good reason.

Windows Edge Browser and Chrome show that there's a 'NOT SECURE!' warning for www.bakubo.com.

Internet Explorer doesn't and all of your photos show on the forum pages.

We used to have only Internet Explorer for Windows in 2007 and for a couple of years after that year. IE doesn't show any security warning as you'll see.

Screenshots from EDGE and Internet Explorer:

Photos show in forum on IE.

Yeah, it doesn't use SSL. Just the traditional access. I guess the Microsoft Edge browser is buggy or way too strict. Lots of websites don't use SSL. There is nothing on my site (credit card transactions, passwords, private data, etc.) that needs SSL. It uses http, not https.

I love the colors Barry. There is something serene about the image.

The scene exudes a great sense of normalcy at these times...
Cows, especially black & white patchy ones on a piece of green pasture make a classic scene.

Thanks for sharing, Barry.

I especially like Avenue Pasteur shot in the previous set and village by the lake, in Bern in the last set... Babies being devoured keeps reminding me of so many other things I dislike in this world.

Your silent, hidden treasures ...

Thanks for sharing, Henry.

I've been playing around with the 5d and the B&W mode. I hardly ever used it can't even remember once..shock it's really close to how I like B&W, least on the few quick shots I tried.
No settings changed (as shown)

as shot no pp at all

I might try a few more on the B&W mode, so far I'm liking it

Both internal batteries on the 5d are still working, "tip" leave a battery in the camera which is what I have done. Then the internal cell doesn't discharge/charge aka wearing it out. These are old cameras now. Do the same for all the cameras I have - just once in a while charge up the battery if stored

Love the view Yildiz.
Barry, I usually like contrasty B&W pictures but this one tells me to broaden my interest.

Thanks for that tip. Many times over the years I have seen advice to remove the battery from a camera if you don't use it for a long time. My Olympus E-M10 hasn't been used for a couple of years so I long ago removed the battery. My Olympus E-M5 has not been used for even longer so I long ago removed the battery also. And I removed the battery in my Canon S95 a couple of years ago too. I removed the battery in my Olympus PEN-F about a year ago. I will put the batteries back in and fingers crossed all is okay.
