Makes me think in French, Bernard, not that my French allows me much of that in intelligible form, unfortunately.
I have this recurring idea about French canals: originally it was the romantic one of drifting down a drain (?) and getting pumped back up again, but now, the thing is more to do with mist, emptiness and the merest suggestion of trees along a bank. Of course, a dream it shall remain, because come winterly weather and my inclination to drive vanishes as rapidly as a woodie in a clinic.
Ah, the human condition.

P.S. Can you keep your 'fakes a tad smaller? What happens to me is that over a certain size, larger shots go out of sight at either top or bottom on my monitor (LaCie 319) and ruin the effect. Big isn't always best, despite what some say. I notice that in my own, I sometimes lose part of the frame, so a little hypocricy is at play here. But I blame that squarely on Russ, who would prompt me to make pics bigger...
