Jim, I did not have the connection or time to look before, but these are
lovely images: yes a bit static as you say, but the quality of the image
chain is wonderful. Reminds me of Swiss magaizines where the colour of the
fields of flowers was more beautiful than reality. These are documents
which will be very valuable in 50 years and even more so in 100: someone
will find them and you will become famous ;-)

I have never tried large format: and I MUST not get tempted at this stage:
too much to do and too much to catch up on, but I will look out for any
more of your images

As for getting to other lighthouses, the sale of that 30 would cover the
airfares ;-)
