Thanks for the welcome back, Philippe! That's a fine collection of 
your photos. I was a couple of months in Swaziland and have been 
writing a grant proposal ( http://bulembu.org/  )instead of sorting 
through the thousands of photographs. Hope to be posting something 
soon.  Just a couple of minutes ago I did post a set of photos to 
something new (to me) on the web -- the PhotoSynth site. It needs a 
download plug-in but offers some creative opportunities for stitching 
photographs:
