[Leica] [IMG] [PESO]: Homage to HCB, Tony Ray-Jones and others

[Douglas Barry]

They show England at its pastoral best with the sheep at full bleat, Peter.

I always wanted to go to Glyndbourne, but the nearest I got was 
listening to Bryn Terfal and I think Cecilia Bartoli in St Padern Church 
in Llanberis in July 1996. They had either just performed at Glyndbourne 
or were about to.

It was fabulously intimate as the church was very small, and very 
special, because the show was only for the Snowdon mountain race team 
managers and delegates. Snowdon was hosting the European Championship 
that year so the main organiser twisted Bryn's arm as he was from just 
over the mountain.

I was lucky enough to be the Ireland team manager at the time, but 
because I was also a friend of the organiser, I got put in the front. It 
was spine tingling. I had a programme for it, but it vanished in my last 
house move.

On your pics, I looked at the images at full size and notice they seem a 
little blurry or manipulated. I wonder what filter treatment did you use 
in PS or whatever?
