Heron 110MB which is where RHaworth.com is hosted, has some very restrictive ideas on the use of images remotely. It does not allow hot-linking, ie. embedding (there ought to be an image here: ) which is fair enough. But it does not even allow you to link to an image: 106125.jpg.
 
This is rather silly since, if you have phpthumb, you can easily hot-link - as per the thumb left or link thus: 106125.jpg. In both cases, this makes more work for the 110MB server than if they allowed linking.

Heiroglyphs sample British Museum
Found as Image:Heiroglyphs sample British Museum.jpg on Wikimedia Commons. Now deleted. Source of the non-photoshopped version and its licence are unknown.
(If it is treated as a two-dimensional work of art, then it is old enough for a licence tag of {{PD-Art}}!)
Another view of the real thing
Part of the sarcophagus of Ankhnesneferibre in the British Museum.
 
Someone apparently working in the Ford Motor Company offices in Dearborn near Chicago and obviously with time on their hands uploaded the image on the left to Wikipedia. A very sharp-eyed person noted: "second column from the left, five down. Is that a real animal or a photo-shopped monster?" After a bit of searching I found the image on the right with a curious space where the monster has been inserted.

A few more files which were deleted from Wikipedia for copyright reasons.
This "Destinations" board is on display at Blackpool International Airport. I was amused and puzzled to see Sorrento marked because I had been there recently and I knew that it does not have an airport - it is on a steep peninsula - there is no room for an airport! The nearest airport is Napoli.
They are not airports but package holiday titles. As in these offerings from Newmarket Travel. Either Newmarket have now dropped Sorrento or it was being offered by a different company.

Despite the fact that the airport at Manston in Kent is 124 km (77 miles) from London, it insisted on calling itself London Manston Airport as can be seen on this "2½ inch" OS map (1:25,000 on paper or 625 pixels/km in the full size version) from 2005.


It now calls itself by the more realistic title of Kent International Airport. Same map in 2008:

The current state of the map can be seen here.

The ucoz website is a bit coy about where they are - always suspicious. But I came across this press release giving a Moscow address.
 
However other sources suggest that the servers at least are in Chicago.
