Hi!

> Just saying Hi, from Yorkshire UK.

Just saying "Shalom" from a little town just south of Tel Aviv (IL 
(Israel)) ;-)

You're most welcome. Now, you'd have to add your prolificy to the 
prolificy of the list ;-).

Or was it creativity streak?!

If you use M42 glass, you could buy yourself a "proper" DSLR, and be 
full-Pentax ;-).

Fascinating picture!

> So - well - Hi then  :-)

Shalom again.
