I'm really pleased to hear that you're doing that, even in rural areas change has a habit of creeping up on you. I haven't used my 6x7 at all for any of my photos of the local area, but I am considering using it for my 2004 project, which I will go into in a moment. > However, if my daughter still wants to have a horse farm in > the near future i might save one instead of paving one. My family would love a smallholding of a few acres. I understand the attraction. Every year I try to do a small project and didn't know what to do for 2004, until the government chose it for me. They have agreed to an extension of Stanstead Airport in Essex with an additional runway. This will result in the loss of 100 homes, 29 Grade 2 listed buildings, 2 ancient monuments and 5000 acres (7.5 square kilometres) of mostly farm and woodland. Included in the above is a lovely Essex pub 'Three Horseshoes', which is 560 years old. 18 months ago, I was looking at property for sale in this area. Now I have to record as much as I can to film, before it becomes a concrete slab. Malcolm
