Hi John thanks for your honest and constructive comment. I played a bit with PTLENS to correct the perspective distortion but frankly did not understand that Filter. Anybody knows whether there are some Pentax profiles downloadable somewhere for ex. for the A 24mm 2.8. I tried using some other brand 24mm but it does not help a lot. I find a trial filtering package that helped adjusting with a grid, but would like to master PTLENS...
The notice board did look like the wing of a plane to me but it does indeed take a lot of space. I have some better views including people to see the scale of the mountains ready in the scanner... be prepared for "Kitsch" from the state and city of Appenzell soon :-) And don't forget, Swiss mountains are always impressive!
