So many photos, so little time

.
No, it is not Israel!
Now, at the midnight contest deadline, I just finished three days of steady image uploading to Wiki Israel.
I contributed hundreds of photos for which I had to write informative but short titles, for almost 30 heritage sites in Israel and Jerusalem.
There were over 600 physical sites on the nationwide list to chose from. 
It was my first time and there was much to learn about how and what to contribute. 

But now I can't bear to look at even one more local picture again, not even for the blog.

So here is a favorite shot of the medieval ramparts that protected Nymburk, now in the Czech Republic!

I went there in 2006 to be at the wedding of my young friend Pavla.
Was living in Switzerland part of that year, so I took the 11-hour night bus from Zurich to Prague. Oi . . . very long and dark.

Sometimes it is tempting to start a second blog about my times outside of Israel.
What's the fun of photos if they can't be shared.
But now my eyes need a good rest.
Tomorrow is another day.

Good night to all and to the folks at Our World Tuesday.
And the nice Czech town of Nymburk is for N Day at ABC Wednesday.

Wiki Loves Monuments (historical landmarks) photo contest

.
Photographers, bloggers, natives, tourists--get your cameras ready!
Or your archives.
Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 is in progress!

Wikipedia needs photos, old or new, of your local cultural heritage and the best entries in their big photo contest will get prizes.

I read through the list of moreshet/heritage places in Israel and realized that my archive is already full of such pictures.
Maybe I should upload a bunch and try for the shekel prizes of

• First place: ILS 5000 (about $1,250)
• Second place: ILS 3000 (about $750)
• Third place: ILS 2000 (about $500)

Worldwide, 142,511 images have already been uploaded; and in Israel, 353.

Check the website to see if your country is participating and what the final date is.
In Israel, the contest (like everything else here) starts and ends (Oct. 15) later than in non-Jewish countries because of the chagim, the holidays.

I am new to this; does anyone have any advice? It sounds like a good thing to do, this contributing to Wiki and freely sharing pictures of my beloved country . . . . Is it?
It means anyone in the world can use our photographs, for any purpose, including commercial.
