In case anyone was wondering what happened to many of the pictures that I posted in this particular thread, the web site
www.brickshelf.com appears to have ceased operation. I had hundreds of pictures there and it is now gone. As I recall, there were well over 1 million photos from thousands of members stored on that site. I will eventually re-upload some of my pictures to
www.flickr.com or a similar site. Of course some of my recent posts have linked to other people's Lego skyscrapers so I cannot speculate on their fate. Some people had apparently used brickshelf to store their only copy of photos they took (perhaps they did not have enough disk space?).
Edit: Brickshelf has been saved after being down for about a week.
