Ranch (9 images)

These pictures were taken by Anne and Tony Harris on their 25-acre ranch in Marin County, CA (where they plan to build a two-story home that they picked out from an Internet site). Tony teaches multimedia classes at San Marin High School in Novato and Anne is an Assistant Principal at San Jose Middle School in Novato. They are both avid Mac users, although Tony uses both platforms in his classes. The pictures were taken with a Kodak throw-away camera, and Janet Mobley scanned them in using her Epson Stylus 870 scanner.

Leaves (6 images)

The pictures were taken by Jens Grabenstein on Long Island and in New York’s Central Park. He shot them with a Canon EOS 300 using a 28-80mm zoom lens and 200 ASA 35mm Kodak Gold film. The images were scanned using a UMAX flatbed scanner and resampled and retouched with Adobe Photoshop 5.5.

Durras Pub (1 image)

This is a picture that Pat Maguire took in Durras, West Cork, Ireland (the birthplace of his great grandfather). It is the end of one of the Pub walls (Public House a.k.a Inn)—one of six in a village of 150 people—all of them thriving. :)

Southern France and Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial (8 images)

These pictures were taken by Barry in Southern France and along the Canal du Midi as well as from the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. You can find many more interesting pictures from these two areas at the two links above. Barry’s trip through the French canal must have been quite an adventure!
