Do you have any photographs?
Hi there. I was wondering if you happened to be local to the Midi and if so whether there was a possibility that you have any copyright-free photographs of locks which could be uploaded to Wikipedia and released under GFDL - I am particularly looking for photos to fill the gaps in the tables in Locks on the Canal du Midi and La Nouvelle branch? Thanks in advance & kind regards, Nancy  talk  13:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello again and thanks for getting back to me. What I was really hoping for was photographs that could be uploaded to Wikipedia and used to illustrate the articles rather than links to external sites. e.g. as you may have noticed in La Nouvelle branch only a couple of the locks have photographs so far and Locks on the Canal du Midi likewise. For the past several years we have spent September in Bize-Minervois & so I have uploaded quite a few of my own photographs but they provide far from comprehensive coverage. So what I'm asking is whether you have any personal photographs of the canals/locks/other structures that you were willing to release via a GFDL license (i.e. removing the copyright from them) and upload to Wikipedia for use in articles and elsewhere? .
