Does this Cam chain look worn?

Gday guys. Read all the chain tension threads here. Went to check my chain but it looks like it's pretty straight and feels tight. Only <2 mm movement when pressed hard. I have a long trip coming up but don't want to mess with this bike as it has had 0 mechanical issues in its 230000 k life. Only a new starter clutch. See pics. No wear on sprocket.

The bit of the forum that uploads images is broken.
You can link to images on other sites like Flickr etc.

Maybe I should have explained a bit clearer.
You can link to images on image sharing sites like Flickr, although these are becoming scarcer.
Photobucket was thew best of the best but they decided to fsck their users by stopping linking.
Google Images generally doesn't work, they keep changing the url to your images so that you can't rely on it for more than a few hours.
Facebook never was an image sharing site, you have to log in to it to be able to see anything, you generally can't see the links from outside.
I'd fix the issue on the forum but I don't have the keys to the server room. Sorry.
tldr: linky no worky

Ok cheers. Inspection of other people's pics of shows the tensioner pushing the chain right over the the sprocket. Mine is still straight and tight so I will leave it for now.
