SPS Members Images

I thought this may be an interesting little item
which happened recently between SPS member
Peter Pauwels and myself.

Peter travels to France frequently and keeps in touch
with our members and web site from his apartment in
Southern France. He had told me his apartment was in
Le Grand Motte,and did I know where that was.
This was to my amazement, as I had visited there on my
first
ever visit to France - 25 years ago!
Opposite is a shot I took of the-at the time,
very futuristic buildings there.

This week Peter came to my house and I showed him this
and some other shots I had taken in the town we were
staying at, Le Grau du Roi just down the road.
To his amazement he said he had visited there this year
and taken very similar shots to mine!

Below are three pictures taken by me in 1977
(I think the camera was a '126 film' type, not sure,
I certainly didn't know how to use a computer then!)

And three from Peter tken in 2002 with a Digital camera
(some things change, some things don't!)

Thanks Peter, very interesting
