Looks good!
My granddaughter was an Air Force photojournalist and now has a photography business so I wondered whether she'd know what caused this and asked her about it. She said it's because IPads and IPhones don't embed the orientation of the photo into the image file because that slows recording down too much. They instead record the orientation in a connected file (I think she called it and exif file?) and most other systems don't or can't use that file, so when you post the picture it posts according to lens position, which varies between different Ipads and IPhones. She said what you have to do is pull the picture into a photo editor (She mentioned Microsoft Photo Editor and Google Pictures), rotate it to right side up, then save it and it'll insert an orientation tag that other programs and sites recognize.
That's all my interpretation of her explanation but I think I have it right!

Thanks for bearing with me! What I did was essentially what your granddaughter said to do, Mach12. I took a new picture (which I like better anyway because it was daytime and she looks blue. The old picture gave her a greenish cast from the lighting.), and emailed it to myself, then posted it from my husband's computer. We didn't have to rotate it, so probably just by chance the ipad lens was in the right position for it to be upright anyway. But this is good information to know. Maybe on a slow day I'll play around and figure out what iPad position renders upright photos.

She said that's what she does with her IPhone. Something about if the volume buttons are pointed down then the orientation is always right.
That's a beautiful stove by the way. I'm partial to the blue stoves. The red ones are my wife's favorites, especially the BZ's, and they're a close second for me so that's what we've settled on. Eventually anyway. Got to have the panels redone on one of my white BZ's.

WOW! What a saga of the menusha to get a pic correctly orientated.
This reminds me about my great grandmother. She was born in 1878 & was married in 1899. She started out in the steam age when horses were still common for travel & work. Lighting was kerosene or coal oil. she lived until 1974 seeing all the new wonders that we now take for granted. I still remember her leaning forward in her chair to watch the moon landing on a rented color TV, although the moon footage was in black & white. What was she thinking? It boggles my mind what the world will look like in a equal span of time hence.
All this avatar talk made decide to change mine to a more lifelike shot. Chuckie, the tea you sent me is right there tucked behind the teapot on the right.

It was a saga, for sure! I like the new "you" Pooka! Your stove looks busy and homey.

It's certainly homey but not busy, just cluttered. In a small kitchen with limited storage, a lot of stuff never get put away. I shift it around to clear a work space as needed. The white teapot & two cups normally aren't there, & both the Halite & Magnalite are on the stove-top. That's not typical. The Halite needs to be put away The big red Dutch soup pot get shifted around wherever it's not in the way. I thought about tidying up a bit for the photo-shoot leaving out only the period correct pieces which most of them are. But I just walked over & snapped a shot as it was. Face it. It's a basement kitchen. There's nothing slick or fashionable about it. It simply functional. Everything is about one or two steps away including the washer & dryer. They double as somewhere to move things to get them out of my way when cooking.

Sumus quod sumus, Pooka. We are what we are. My kitchen's on the first floor and I still find myself shuffling things around to make room. Who am I to judge? PS Marilyn usually has two cast iron pans and a tea kettle and a few jars of water kefir sitting on her. I made her put on a clean shirt for her picture, as it were!
