Thanks, Joel.
I started looking at your photos in the JAlbum pages from the link
below, but the colour looked strange and the grain seemed to stand
out. But then I noticed that I could launch CoolIris by hovering the
cursor over the forward/back delta-pointers. In CoolIris they looked
much better, as you see them, I hope. I don't know what JAlbum was
doing to your lovely images, but it was no favours on my iMac.
I enjoyed the old building shots in the first 3; the rusty staircase
was a bit flat for me, but the Spaulding chimney was interesting, as
were the flowers. Is that Canadian Gordon, far from home?
