You can tell which are which if you click on a photo and display it at full size. At the top of the screen, you'll see the name. The ones that start with a P are from the Panasonic TZ60, and the ones that start with IMG are from the Canon XS700 HS.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-16036064954478998112015-09-11T02:13:59.864+02:002015-09-11T02:13:59.864+02:00Thanks.

Back in 1981-82, when Walt and I were both in Paris, the rooftop deck of the Samaritaine was a full-service café-restaurant. We used to go have a drink or lunch up there with friends when the weather was nice, and the views were amazing. Later, they turned the café into a low-budget self-service place where you could get drinks in paper cups and pre-made sandwiches. They ruined it, in other words.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-62567464958177639422015-09-09T08:34:20.057+02:002015-09-09T08:34:20.057+02:00No, I didn't see that, franinoz.
