[ATMoB-discuss] Re: Eclipse photos from Tom Lepisto

[Paul Valleli]

Tom,
You may be modest, your pictures are terrific.
I absolutely love your composition of the Eclipse superimposed on the Pyramids.
It evokes the mysteries of the Pharaohs and ancient Egypt.

Thanks also for the shots of the British Museum and Alexandria.  At 
least the Internet police did not censor
the statues. Fourteen years ago I was just a few hundred yards from 
the Museum and the Rosetta Stone but did not have time to
go inside to see it. I asked at both the Cairo Museum and the Louvre 
where to see it, forgetting that the Brits had absconded with it.
I bought a miniature replica of it at the Louvre to display at home.

Sometime I need to put a piece of papyrus in vinegar to see if it 
dissolves as author Dan Brown claims in the DaVinci Code.
