Douglas Barry's photograph at http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Bordeaux2014_St-Emilion_View1.jpg.html shows a tower in the background, known as the Royal Tower or Tower of the King or something similar; if you climb to the top you can as I did, take a photograph of a view much beloved in travel magazines: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Bordeaux2014_St-Emilion_View1.jpg.html This was scanned some time ago from a C-41 negative (probably Kodak Royal Gold) made with a Leitz-Minolta CL, my only camera at the time. (When I finally sent it to Sherry Krauter for a CLA after this trip she said the shutter was way off, which probably explained why so many of my shots were blurry. Memories..... --Bob
