Hi All,
I am in the very early stages of getting the pics up from the WWF show. There
is a WWF page that is "under major consturction" posted under "Galleries" on
the www.PNLTC.org page. Pls enjoy what's there, but I would rather not "tell
the world" until the page is in better shape.
BTW would you guys perfer to wait til the page is complete or see the work in
progress?
FYI the panoramic shot on the top of the main page was done using 4 images and
an application called PhotoVista.
