That's an astonishing haul and in only twenty minutes too. Very impressive.

They are brilliant pictures.

Looked like a smashing day for it as well.

All the best.

It's not until l got back and looked through the photos l realised l just how much detail l had captured. I was very pleased with the results considering the window of the helecopter was quite dirty. Pity the flight did not take us over more of Glasgow....Maryhill, Possil, Drumchapel and the likes. Thanks for all the encouragement.

My one complaint would be that very thing - that we can't see the detail. Don't suppose there's any chance of having the 'All Sizes' option enabled? Please?

It is enabled, that's how l view them. I don't know if you have to have a Pro account to view 'all sizes', maybe someone out there can advise us.

amendment.... I created a generic account some time ago that should let you view in all sizes:

log on to flickr as:

[email protected]

password: visitor

look under 'contacts' and select me, that will allow you to view all my images in all sizes

That seems to work Robert, thanks.

Although I have a Pro account, and you're one of my contacts already, so... {mild bemusement}.

I always thought it was something to do with one of the more obscure settings on Flickr, like 'allow downloads' or Exif data, or summat.

Some amazing shots there - an excellent illustration of just why it's called "the Dear green place".

Very impressive.
