Children's Books: Jag kan köra alla bilar
"Jag kan köra alla bilar" (I Can Drive All Cars) from 1965, by Karin Nyman and nicely illustrated by Ylva Källström, is about little Kalle who imagines driving all sorts of cars as he steers his tricycle. As he's a Swede he'll drive a Volvo and a SAAB but also Cadillac, Citroen, Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Fiat, Opel and and Austin.

Architecture: Ford Times, Nov 1959
"Editor's note: As backgrounds for the 1960 Fords, we chose ten wonderful, but unavailable, sites in America's most spectacular scenery, much of which is in national parks and monuments. We then asked R. A. Hermes, graduate architect, to design houses that would take full advantage of each site, against renderings of them by Charles Harper, we photo composed the new models. On the cover you saw a spherical plastic house which would achieve the ultimate in prefabrication since it has no footings or foundation. The tree house on the inside front cover, designed for Sequoia National Park, could be assembled on the ground, then hoisted like a dough nut up a sapling. There are eight other dream houses, each a setting for cars that are not just a dream= "A Wonderful New World of Fords" described in detail on these pages." Ford Times, Nov 1959
This text/image/great set is found at David at The Klockarp Institute's Flickr. He's just swell, go see!

Question: Free Photo Sharing Sites
I like Flickr and Picasa Web Albums but I've just about reached my free upload limit. I'm a cheap guy who doesn't like to unnecessarily pay for things and I'd rather not get stuck with a service which will be hard to give up. So now I'm thinking I'd better come up with a really good option. There are a number of services out there, I know. I have an ImageShack and a PhotoBucket account, and they are OK but I don't like the navigation and they have a busy appearance and they are perhaps a bit slow.
I need the site to be:
- totally free (at least up to 1 GB)
- clean and easy on the eye
- logic in its navigation
- rather fast than slow
Do you have a favorite to recommend?

UPDATES:
First suggestion is in from josephzohn: eSnips
(and I actually already have an account there! I forgot about it.)
Update on this: I've tried it but it doesn't seem to allow linking. I'm sure it's very good in other ways like sharing with other eSnippers.

Carl suggests KoffeePhoto.

Matt Hunter Ross says "get more than one account" at Flickr or Picasa.

Photo: Face of Britain
"This is one of my favourite portraits. It is also my one claim to fame. I sold it back in 1979 to the V&A Museum..."
George Plemper: "In my early days I was employed, at my second school, as a science teacher at Riverside School, Thamesmead. Situtated on the Bexley/London border, it was a relatively new school in a "London" housing estate. " (continue)
