Subject: [OT:] Random Photos


> In July & August my wife and I and a friend and (part of the way) my
> daughter did a world tour where we visited 24 countries. I took 44,000
> photos. Many would interest nobody but me. Some are interesting and some
> rather good (if I do say so).
>
> I still have not got many of these on a website for various reasons.
> I decided to start sending an occasional semi-randomly chosen photo by
email
> to those of my friends who may be interested in seeing them.
> The message below is the first one but without the pictures (about 170 kB
in
> this case).
>
> If anyone here is interested I am happy to add them to the list - and take
> them off again if it proves not worth the bandwidth.
> Feel free to pass this on to anyone else who may be silly enough to be
> interested.

> This email is being sent to a large number of people.
> This is an "OPT IN" idea.
> If you want to receive any more of these you need to ask.

> If I don't hear from you you (probably) won't see any more of these.
> No need to say no.

> While we were away I took many many many photos in 24 countries.
> Some are interesting or unusual or strange or exciting or fun or just
plain

to

> The photos (all 44,000 of them!) are stored in per day folders.
