Were your pictures taken that way, then rotated, but then they reverted to original when you posted them?

If so, in whatever picture editing software that you're using, find the tool that removes the Metadata - that is the info that is stored in the background, behind every image. With the Metadata removed, the picture cannot revert to type when you post it.

Nice piece. As for picture rotation the best advice whether you’re using a camera, tablet or phone is never ever take pictures in portrait mode and you don’t get this problem. The difficulty is that phone users struggle with taking pictures in landscape mode, even when they’re taking pictures of a landscape!

For me, not a great shape but it's not about the shape is it, it's the work involved in the segments and there is a lot of work gone into that.
The polished finish really highlights the work and the grain of the timbers.

And so I'll bite, I've never heard of a timber called Chechen,  what is it, where dies it come from?
