The site launches this Friday [08feb2008] and our designer has asked to include some of your images. The usage is a little unusual - they are part of a small set of images that appear in silhouette in page backgrounds. As a public service website we're not operating for profit, all the content is free, would you give us your permission to use your images? The site is taking shape here: extdev.bbc.co.uk/radio4/worldonthemove/ and on Friday will appear with full content here: www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/worldonthemove/ - In case you can't see the silhouettes on the extdev pages I've got a link straight to the image which will give you an idea of how they're being rendered, this one uses butterfly images (one of the migrations we will be reporting in the series of radio programmes is that of the Monarch) :

    The particular images of yours that the designer used in creating silhouettes are:

      Thanks for the Creative Commons quote use www.quotedlife.com/?p=155 Great quote, you said: (“A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam…
      and for a brief moment it’s glory
      and beauty belong to our world…
      but then it flies on again, and although
      we wish it could have stayed,
      we are so thankful to have seen it at all.”) and

      A new writer for the Slo Coast Journal requested a Monarch Butterfly for her page's banner. I searched Flickr and came across this beauty. Well done, Mike! Exquisite and perfect for our needs. Mike's butterfly can be seen at slocoastjournal.com/docs/poets_perspective.ht ml
