I was too polite to ask what 'eventually' meant in this context, but suffice it to say I made a personal contribution to their regeneration the following day by dropping a pine cone in the smouldering remains. The burning down of the village was a tad unfortunate, that was certainly not in the original shoot plan. However the villagers have now been supplied with tents and said to be looking forward to a healthy Austrian winter under canvas.

'Austrian Mist' indeed! Those headstones seem to be 'stacked' very close even allowing for the slight telephoto. I like them both, keep them coming. --Graham -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.338 / Virus Database: 267.10.13/78 - Release Date: 19/08/2005
