If photography was supposed to be enjoyable we'd all still be using Spotmatics. Don't know if that was a serious comment, but for me the K20D is the most enjoyable camera I've ever had and I've had many cameras since I was a kid, mainly Pentax, starting with a Spotmatic. Kenneth Waller

Great slice of winter urban life, Frank. I love seeing cities where streetcars (we call them trams) are working efficiently. Sydney removed all of its trams back in the 1960s (I think) and replaced them with buses. Not one of our State Government's greatest ideas. Cheers Brian
