Photo Index

This is a photo list only; if you prefer to see a tour which contains the best images, use this link.

Each picture is available in three formats: "small" (JPEG, resolution 384x256), "medium" (JPEG, resolution 768x512) and "large" (JPEG, 1536x1024). I also have the original Photo CD files, which are about 4 to 5 MB in size and have a resolution of 3072x2048. If you want one of these for print processing, I can give you the URL for it, just ask.
