but a valid point.....wonder if it was health checked before release because I am sure it will give people with sensitivity issues some problems because of the Zoom effect and I'm sure strobe lighting has also been used

loving your stories loving your pics....just great as usual

Jim a sad story but in the end I am a great believer in fate and it sounds like Iain was destined to be in your life all the best
