Yeah, I hope you enjoy yourself while you are away. Best wishes Motts! Thank you as well for the new gallery.

Another stellar set Motts, thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Enjoy your trip to Poland and Germany and stay safe!

So did it occur to anyone that the bottom hinge is loose? I guess that makes too much sense though.
And I wish this wonderful site attracted more intelligent commentators. Is "OMG I get a cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!" really f'***ing necessary every GD page?

Cleaned up a bit, I could sit out here in a rocking chair and drink a mint julep (or lemonade, or iced-tea....anyone care to join me? ;-) ). Love the collumns and the vanishing perspective.

Here's some info, the
