I'm just going to give it a go with photos of mole hills on the top lawn, something to be curmudgeonly about. From my phone which always posts upside down here unless I shrink the photo.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
It's never worked properly - the photo thing. When the site was re vamped years ago, it was supposed to make it easier for people with phones and it apparently didn't. You were also supposed to be able to load pix up to about 6MB, and that lasted five minutes before going south. I automatically reduce all of mine because I know they won't work otherwise. I often just reduce the pixels on a lot of my photos to around 1000 when I'm editing. That works too. So if it comes up at say 3456 pixels, I just change the 3 to a 1.
Call me cynical, but I doubt it'll be fixed. I get slightly [very] fed up saying to posters who apologise about it [that's really annoying -when it's not their fault] that if they reduce them to around 1MB it'll be easier. It's often new posters too, which could be very off putting for them.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm sorry about the photo upload problems. And I have raised it with IT. Part of the challenge for us is that the software that runs the forum is actually owned by a third-party, and not by our company, so there is a limit to how much we can change.
At first I thought your pic had loaded the right way up @Busy-Lizzie with the bottom half looking like a reflection in a lake. But you don't have a lake in your garden and of course it made more sense with the second one.

Not cynical at all @fa@Fairygirl. I was a member of a photography site which was taken over by a large American company with all sorts of promises of improvement. Reality is that it went downhill, slowly at first and then far more rapidly, until they made the announcement that it wasn't practical to support any more and it closed down.
