Hi Mark,
Thanks for the web address to the pictures of the photographers,
Interesting that Margaret is just a bit out of focus and the buildings  
behind her are in focus. I guess the photographer thought the  
buildings were more important than Margaret or perhaps he was just  
scared of heights!
Cheers
Howard
