You might be able to argue that this thread is click-bait but that wouldn't require copyright notices.

Some people add copyright notices to every photo they own and post. Seattle Forest does it.

The whole copyright thing is a red herring -- who copyrights pictures they plan to post on line? EVERYONE -- copyright is automatic the moment the picture is created, whether you choose to add a copyright notice or not.

It could be the OP regularly shoots for commercial purposes and has the notice applied automatically.

These could actually be marketable pictures, they clearly illustrate proper lane usage by a group of cyclists at a left-turn lane -- not just the fact that they're using the left turn lane, but that they're properly spread out to prevent an inattentive or ignorant motorist from attempting to pass them within the lane.
