RE: Waitangi Angels
Thanks. I don't know what's causing the Javascript errors. It was generated by Lightroom. I'm not going to investigate because the new version will be here at the end of the month, and I shall assume for the moment that it's fixed. I didn't know about the giant haka etc. either. I was surprised to stumble upon it, and surprised to see so many Maori people in London. The singing was very nice - very Polynesian (?) and unexpected. -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Mann Sent: 04 February 2007 07:56 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Waitangi Angels On Feb 4, 2007, at 10:03 AM, Bob W wrote: http://www.web-options.com/London3/ Very nice pics, but I'm getting Javascript errors.
