Agreed, and I think this was the underlying plan all along. I think it may be a case of what Daniel said about waiting until we get it perfect. If we wait for perfection, it will get very boring indeed. Better to have something almost perfect, and available now. I have been contributing photos as a test to the burningwell site, so any of these on the site could be used. Add to that the ones still to come and there will be plenty of photos.
