Removed image

I have removed File:Cloudgatelookingup.jpg from Cloud Gate just now as the sculpture itself is a copyrighted work of art and so photographs of it are not free. Please see previous discussions on the Cloud Gate talk page and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cloud Gate/archive4 for examples of this. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Durham pictures

I really like the pictures you added to the Durham page - they add a lot of personality to the page. I feel like there's a little more snow than is representative of Durham though. Do you think it might be better to use this picture (http://www.flickr.com/photos/forrestlsmith/4741709042/in/pool-52240837575@N01/) instead of this one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ccbplaza.jpg)? I haven't seen another photo of American Tobacco, but maybe something less snowy there could be more appropriate too.

On a slightly different note - what are your thoughts on putting together a small collage for the infobox in the style of New York City? It seem that there might be enough pictures for that now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreid1987 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
