There has been some difficulty in persuading Robaire's Siblings to become involved in Galleria Rusticana. The fact that they are about to and/or are currently on extensive travel has led to a unilateral decision being made to initially create a common Galleria for them. This is not to suggest common pics but more to ease them gently into the wild global fame and notoriety in which they shall now exist. Maximus (JWDG) and Minimus (DCG) are both engineers. Maximus having a long career in manufacturing here in OZ as well as some years in UK with a leaning towards heavy manufacture. Locally such equipment as mining locomotives, large conveyors and screening machines come to mind as well as very big water valves and commissioning large diesel powered generators for then emerging high rise buildings. Au contraire, Minimus pursued a stellar career in multi-strand research in OZ and UK and elsewhere. He was Robaire's host at Cambridge a mere four decades ago whilst seeking (successfully) a PhD whenever able to break away from rowing the Cam. Robaire was en route from Montreal to Dusseldorf and was met at Heathrow to be raced up to Cambridge in an aged Austin A30. These are deliberately short and somewhat typically vague career notes but suffice to say that both know their way around a camera and the globe and Robaire remains optimistic that some superb pics will be forthcoming from his siblings, maybe even some shots from Moscow and USSR as it was known then......perhaps India......certainly Italy....
Special Note: As mentioned in our most recent main Introduction this Galleria allows equal space.....indeed more space if necessary, for our Sisterinlorae, both of whom use cameras. Indeed Robaire is indebted to Sister Pennyvit for the plural of Sisterinlorae.
Welcome to their galleria..
Late news flash. Maximus first pics Italy follow yellow tile.
