Samesies. I look at pretty well all of the pictures that get posted in this thread and I appreciate them. I hold back on comments that are really banal ("nice pics") for the most part, although some occasionally slip through. Maybe I'll have to start posting more of those types of responses to show my appreciation.

Also the fact that it's other people's work and not your own probably contributes to the indifference as well. I mean shit, no one comments on my posts and they're actually my own work. Not a big deal. To be clear though, I do think the sets you post are gorgeous.

I don't frequent the City Photos subforum much anymore, but that forum is arguably a better format for large doses of photos. Back in the day when I checked it regularly, I'd kind of know what I was in for when I clicked a thread that was called something like "DES MOINES MEGA PHOTOTHREAD UPDATE - 56K BEWARE!!!!!!!". By contrast, I click here expecting to see 5 or 10 new photos but if it ends up being 50 or more I tend to scroll by pretty fast.

If you go and take 40 pictures to post here, it should probably be its own thread. I mean, it isn't like this forum is running out of room for new threads. If we can have threads for some off hand observations about lacrosse or TV commercials or whatever, we can have one for Chadillaccc's pictures that represent hours of effort on his part.

Agreed. I don't know exactly when it happened, but somewhere over the past 20 years it went from looking kind of like a coastal Saskatoon to a major city somewhere in the Nordic countries.
