   That limit is not new, quite old actually, since late Fall 2006. I discovered a while ago that non-pros have a 10 group per photo limit since January and pros have a 60 group per photo limit. Yes, a few step backwards.

   There are other limits since the Fall such as the number of tags that can be added. If you want to know since when all this, I can search. I am too lazy to do this now and rushing to leave anyway.

   Nice intriguing photo!

   oops. my bad. I never hit the limit before… and this photo must be an anomaly with all the detail… I will edit my P.S. accordingly… And, good news should be coming soon on flickr’s file sizes going up.

   Great! I had to downsize a beautiful photo once and I do not understand what was different from the others.

   The changes I mentioned are from when in December or so, without notice, we no longer had limits for downloading.

   it’s the amount of insane detail and color variation that kept the .jpg at too high a file size…. jpg compression takes advantage of there being more uniform and identical colour patches in a photo to reduce image size accordingly!
   …. it’s cuz there’s too much datail in this ultra-cool photo! information over-load! especially the bottom half!

   Hi
   Just stumbled across your photo stream, you have some great pictures here.
   I was wondering, could you tell me what these strange coloured areas are around the Alviso area?

   For many years, the ponds you see in that satellite view were used as salt evaporators. Microbe growth provides the rich colors, as can be seen in the Great Salt Lake which blooms with phytoplankton in January followed by several species of diatoms.
