Decade of the Pasty Cam on this day ^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

Pasty Central began shortly after the world wide web came along in 1994... when many old photos' copyrights were expiring. Which year in today's review has an example of one?

I'd say 2006

2006

And for extra credit, how long does it take for copyrights to expire in the U.S.?

Good Morning. All of the photos are really nice this morning, but John Dee's photo of the hoar frost in 2000 is spectacular! I don't remember seeing all of the individual needles' having such a heavy coating of frost before. It is beautiful!

Copyrights generally expire 70 years after the death of the author, or 95 years after publication.

Thanks, Jarmo! I look forward to this calendar every year!

Fine photos.

Just a warning folks;



Watch for deer especially at dawn and dusk. They are most active then,especially during the fall mating season. In spring, deer will move from cover to find food, and back to cover. Often they will feed along road rights-of-way, where grass greens up first. If you see one deer, approach cautiously, as there may be more out of sight.
Deer often travel single file, so if you see one cross a road, chances are more are nearby waiting to cross, too. When startled by an approaching vehicle, they can panic and dart out from any direction without warning.
Be alert all year long, especially on two-lane roads. Watch for deer warning
signs. They are placed at known deer-crossing areas and serve as a first alert that deer may be near.
Slow down when traveling through deer-population areas.
It's been sad and bad this year.

Jarmo,
I love the Christmas Calendar - Thank you - I will open a "window" every day!

The first picture looks like a giant feather duster, love it.
