Personal

Your own archive. Nobody else can open it or add to it.

Example — “Ridge walk, Aurlandsfjord — yours alone, nobody else invited.”

Water lily on the pond in Nan's garden

Private

You post, chosen Connections watch. Good for family.

Example — “Nan's garden — family only, one poster.”

The Statue of Liberty from the ferry rail

Invited

Everyone you invited shoots the same event from their own seat.

Example — “Plant swap, glasshouse 3 — growers posting their own beds.”

Empty swings in a park at dusk

Public

Anyone standing inside the boundary can add to it.

Example — “Summer in Præstøvej Park — open to anyone standing in it.”
