Note! The images below are from slides taken to Walmart and transfered to a
CD at a very low cost, then mailed to the York's web guy Tim Cook 37 Townsend Place
Athens, OH 45701. Once copied, the CD is returned ASAP. We'd Welcome Yours Too!
Many of these images are simular but different than the ones from Harris Cotter.
Some of the images below are from South Africa, and some were taken at sea.
As you slowly move your mouse pointer over the small images below, hopefully you will soon see the name or
