[LRflex] Re: B&W of Stonehenge, & Salisbury Cathedral

Hi Philippe, Bob, Douglas and David,
Just wanted to say thanks to all for looking at my shots from the
Salisbury Plains, and sharing your opinions - always fun to get
feedback.  Was in London for one week's work, and bit the bullet to
run away that Saturday for photography's sake. Given time, I will post
some other London shots for kicks.
David, looks like you had a wonderful time with family, and your DMR
captured Rose and Emily with accurate skin tones ~ what a nice sun
tan!  Emily is a real picture of health and you must be one proud
Grandpa - congraulations!  Tried looking for you in Rose's sunglass
reflection but couldn't...hahaha. Thanks for sharing the smiles of
summer ;-)
~ Eric
