Geoff:

Just the 10mm fisheye.

Colour shapes, They told me that they'll soon have lots of brightly 
colored and oddly shaped gliders arriving for the glider season.

They're located only about a mile from the coast and it seems that the 
offshore winds are perfect for them.

But what do I know about that?  I went to art school!

Jim.
