Unless the link did not work, what caught my eye was the photo of Mr. 
Johnston, a local organic farmer who is at the centre of a controversey 
as he proposes to have a wind farm built on his land.  It was a very 
nice casual portrait, EXCEPT that there was a blade of grass in front of 
his face, ending right at his nose... most inelegant.

Glad to hear of your fondness for Moray... I have not been, but it is an 
ambition of mine, so I am saving up.  I originally thought that I would 
go during the Speyside whisky festival, but that would be too much 
distraction.  The real purpose would be exploring, photographing and 
perhaps some genealogical research.

If you have any photos to post or share, I'd enjoy that.

Slainte,

Earl
