Since April 20 is the two-year anniversary of my trip to England, I thought I'd better finish getting the photos scanned and posted on my photo page. This will definitely be the last vacation where I use the old Manual SLR. I love my Canon AE-1, but I do not like the scanning and fiddling. If I'd had a brain in my head, I would have had the photo lab save them onto a CD, but I left my brains at home that day. Such is life.

I don't take vacation snaps so much as I do photo montages, so be warned. There are a great many pictures in my albums (and I'm only two-thirds of the way done), but they do include everything through Tintagel:

If you'd druther not, here are a couple of panoramas:

It's amazing how quickly you can set foot in the U.S. and then think, "I need to get back there..."

Unfortunately it'll be quite a while for me -- I'm not even sure I'll be able to get to Worldcopn in L.A., much less make it across the pond to Europe. :-(

Have you considered hanging those pictures in your living room or something? If there was a way you could rig the framing, that'd look pretty awesome.

I think I'll go to Switzerland next month and pay a visit to <lj user="frigg"). Do you think I need to pack my whip?
