The right to photograph freely what one can normally see in a public place is a very important one. So much of what I publish both online and on paper are photographs of this area old and modern. Photographs like the one above say something about us here in Thanet no amount of words can convey, the modern picture of some of Thanet’s civic leaders above, like the picture below of some of our civic leaders 70 years ago brings history to life.Thanks to Fred’s comments on my posting about being prevented from photographing Ramsgate Public Library from a public footpath, I have voted on a parliamentary petition about this, if you enjoy the photographs that I and others publish I would like to encourage you to do so as well click here to do so
Fred also drew my attention to Mitchell Austin’s early day motion on the subject click here to view it

Jeez, what a crappy bunch of, er, old bikes.
ReplyDeleteNow if any of them fancy a ride on a real bike I'll let them perch on the back of my ZX10R for a spin up the Thanet Way. Only trouble is, there's nothing to grab except moi!
