Bipin..
The "buy photo" click-on comes up on every public photo you post on smugmug, if you plan on selling any at all. but in the case of Rick's photos , they are of historical interest. not just 'pretty homes" and viewers interested in the history and architectural style of a certain area might well want to purchase a photo for editorial use, use in advertising, or for their walls if they have a personal connection to a place..

My galleries on smugmug mostly show photos I am interested in selling for prints or files for personal or commercial use, but I also have photos that are there and public that I have no intenetion of selling.. it would be nice to be able to cherry pick when we load our photos to smugmug so that certain photos do not have that BUY button popping up but , unless things have changed recently, that isn't possible..

RIck - enjoying the tour of  old New Castle.. presume you didn't bring coal with you :-)

Dear Rick & Alan,
                                                           After Compliments

I went to your smugmug website:-
https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2021/May-2021/More-New-Castle/
                Enjoyed the very colorful photos of homes and their
gardens. Truly awesome.
I also note that these photos are for sale.
Now I live in an area with very pretty homes, a park, a hilly tract, a
railway line, a primary school, a giant community center, jungle
trails with streams all within 6 to 7 minutes walk.
I have some photos of these areas with my cheapo Phone - photos attached.
The Question? Why would someone buy a photo of someone else's home or garden??
Why I ask ? I have many similar photos and some more, and have been
thinking of going commercial to finance some of my professional gear -
mostly Pentax, Leica and a Sony Mirrorless.
Here is a 3-D photo of a fisherman at dusk.
Stay safe and Blessed.
