Smiley sent me this one... ...with the message:


................................."Hi Rick,
.................................Attached is the art from the silo at Horsham in Victoria. Simply outstanding, best we have seen by far.
.................................Regards
.................................Smiley"
.......................
Apart from marvelling at the brilliant artwork above, I've just gotta say, that's one helluva camera you've got there, Smiley, given that the largest pic they'll allow me to display through my Flickr account is 1024 pixels wide (unless I pay an annual subscription,) receiving your photo at 4080 pixels wide x 3060 pixels tall (2.47 MB) was indeed impressive..!!!

Bearing in mind the limitations of my uploads, I'm quite happy for you to reduce them at your end to the max width of 1024 pixels (or 980 x 730 if you'd like me to add a drop shadow as I've done with this one,) before you send them if you can, it would make it easier for you to email them to me as well...

Well done "Smiley", a great pictorial presentation, I must admit that nothing makes me more emotional than anything about those original ANZACS, let's hope we don't have to see a repeat.
