egbert Posted 1 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Bob @all: the treasure sits in a dark cellar of a - yes Bob you're right. Connections allow me to dig it out now where I discovered it 6 years ago. Today I scanned some 6 hours and I am still not half through. So far I have stored 1.5 gB. Depending on the size, each aerial is scanned at appr. 5-35 mB. And Andy, the messenger dog is bored by the aerials..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 1 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Last picture today; Reims , a15.5 mB pic reduced to 85kB for posting in GWF. The details are stunning but will not be visible in that resolution. I cut and paste a snippet of harbour in stupidly low 35 kB. So you can imagine what the pics really reveal ...

SilverSoldier Posted 1 November , 2006 Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Hello Egbert. What fantastic material! I for one cannot wait for you to share some of it with us. Lucky you.

paul guthrie Posted 1 November , 2006 Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Egbert, why are you drinking wine? When I was stationed in Hun land all my pals and I drank beer. And in our favorite gasthaus in Goppingen near my post your 13th was free! God knows how we went to work the next day but we did. Great pictures, wish I could see all the details you can.
