I have cut and pasted this - is this cheating?

I did a CC search for Albany, and found some fabulous historical stuff which would have been great for Heritage Week, so maybe next year. Also lots of lovely photos of Albany Street in Dunedin (where my son lived) obviously taken with pride/nostalgia for the recently published photography book on student flats there.

I've chosen this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/pldms/3316908951/sizes/l/ which has the following CC permissions and conditions:

The photo is of a bridge in Sturminster Newton, Dorset, where I lived between the ages of 12 and 14. Ironic that several of its later residents have ended up emigrating - voluntarily.
