Thak you Lluis,

I'm working on cleaning out and restructuring all my albums in the 
gallery - a long job - so there may be more to come.
I still have hundreds of slides of all sorts of places that still have 
to be scanned.
The next set will probably be of landscapes and villages in the 
Yorkshire Dales - a contrast between "pastures green and valleys of 
desolation"

The great thing is that it is all bringing back wonderful memories of 
places I haven't visited since at least the 1980s.

Best regards from Hannover,
Douglas
