All photos taken since 1989 are considered copyrighted as soon as they are taken, even if there is no watermark. When I originally uploaded this photo to Flickr, I never dreamed that people would ignore Flickr's copyright notice and upload my photo on other sites without my permission. Perhaps this is naive, but I still have a hard time understanding why anyone would do this.
Unfortunately, some ignorant people assume that non-watermarked photos are public domain, when nothing could be further from the truth. Therefore I am re-posting this as a watermarked image to make it easier to find the photographer (me) when using search engines such as Google Images. Please be respectful of other people's copyrights!
