Heres the pics I tried to send earlier.The issue is file size-a file larger than 500kb cannot be uploaded.I have resized 10 pics different ways and have tried for an hour.Problem solved!Pics cannot exceed 1000 x 1000 pixels or 500 kb.

file size limit was set to 5mb - i've just increased it to 10mb.

Can't image why your firewall should require any setting other than the normal web port being open - as default.

OK So...
Picture issue solved-if the pic is too large,above 500kb,I cannot upload.Also,some issue with my firewall(its been a problem for a lot on my PC)has caused me to time out.Issue fixed,I hope!Enjoy the pics!

Its the file size!I cannot upload anything larger than 500kb or resolution of 1000 x 1000 for a single file,up to a max of 5mb or so.
Use MS Paint and resize the picture than retry,working for me!

Here is an example of winter i know will blow you away.This is from a friend of mine that lives in the eastern part of Nova Scotia.
Yes,those are power lines,normally 25 feet up.

Here is some classic gypsum karst.The dips are 3-30 feet deep where the gypsum has eroded and sunk in,while the hills and ridges go up to 30 ft in height,like being on the moon.
Gypsum cliffs-crumbles too easy cannot be climbed easily.
gypsum karst,smaller stuff

Last few instability of said gypsum karst-those boulders fell in the last year.Not pictured yet are the new possible cave systems we have to return to when rest of snow goes.The snow is melted enough now so that any remaining snow is hard packed-and only melted around the entrances,which led us to 3 possibles.Thanks Ian :)
