... for her

- consent to spent a lot of time each day in the car, cruising around and hunting for pictures

- patience when stopping suddenly the car and jumping into the fields and vineyards besides the road
(she had a book with her in case it will take me some more time)

- generosity when doing exactly the same after driving just another 500 meters

- open judgement in helping me to select those 5% to 8% of images out of a 1440 shot collection that possibly deserve sharing

- assistance in some postprocessing tricks far beyond my own capability (the "rhett" in the car's code plate in the Tech Notes picture)


Thanks for all your support!
Can't wait for our next trip in March 2007 ... checkin' out the
