    I did try it and it works. Got to the place. Now my next question is will it work with Vista operating system? Thanks so much for doing that for me.

  • richiedean replied

    well done Deborah, as for Vista, I’m not sure, I still use XP …... doesnt Vista have a compatability function on it, allowing you to use older software types ?

    Aloha Richie, it is a pretty image. I love the golden glow along the pathway and the grasses are lovely as well. I like the style and look of the weathered stone. These type bridges have so much more soul than the contemporary ones have. I see you are near the water. How deep is the canal?

  • richiedean replied

    Aloha Sharon, the glow of the path is trodden down grass which tends to turn yellow compared to the succulent ( frequently rained on ) grass that surrounds it. The bridge is around 150 years old, horses used to drag narrowboats along this canal and wear from the rope can be seen on the far edge of it ! At this point the water is about 2 metres deep but canals can go uphill …..... to achieve this feat they have to go through a series of locks have a look here Thank you …...... :))

    Beautiful treatment Richie. I am dying to have some software like this. Will try the link you gave to Deborah. Nevertheless….. it takes real talent to be able to use the software effectively, and looks like you definitely have that. Great portfolio. Want to thank you for your comments.

  • richiedean replied

    You’re very welcome Kate, thank you for your kind words ….....
    the link has to be pasted into your title bar, you’ll end up at a UK site, I hope they can help you …... thanks again …........ :))

  • richiedean replied
