colin carron Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 <p>Joseph, we have back yards here in the UK too but usually two words and meaning a small paved area out the back where kids might play somewhat restricted football (soccer) games. Rubbish bins (trash cans?) might also live there.</p> <p>JDM, nice water tower. I'm more of an abstract rock forms man myself.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 <p>Both Imogen Cunningham and particularly Georgia O'Keefe of course, were famous for their flower imagery. example http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6iqE9uv1KqRWS-aCQ5EP6dGUaUMuhiZNEtr7_BgJzjEg1H5pfMg</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 <p><strong>Joe</strong>..Hate to turn serious here, but thanks for the elaboration on how other countries may interpret the word "garden". As has been said before in other fora here, this is a US based site and it, therefore, will most closely follow the meanings, idioms, whatever, of the people in this country. I am not being a snob about this, it is just that one has to have a basis of reference. I hope the fact that the new category being called "<em>Flowers</em> & Gardens" will help with those who may have trouble understanding what is meant. Thanks for your input. Regards.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin carron Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 <p>Walter, I doubt anyone from outside the US will misinterpret the 'flowers and gardens' category. I certainly did not though as I said I have had a sheltered upbringing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 <blockquote>This ain't the UK</blockquote> <p><i>*Looks out of window*</i> Nope, still the UK here. :-)<br /> <br /> Give it a while and my workplace will block access to photo.net (again). They once blocked access to museums (I wanted to book a ticket to Wildlife Photographer of the Year at the London National History Museum) because the admin didn't know what the category meant in the filter settings...<br /> <br /> For most of the UK, in my experience, you won't get censored unless there happens to be a fully-clothed child wandering past in the background of your landscape shot (at which point you're a paedophile). Of course, you'll get arrested as a terrorist for owning a camera, but not censored as such.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
