    Thanks Dave, I think “Dave and Zoe drive the Dempster Highway” is a great movie! (Everybody youtube it.)

    What program are you using to make the gif’s?

    I have a program called “GIFfun” which is free. (Just search it on google.)

    You lose some image quality, but it lets you select a folder of images and choose the rotation speed.

    J’adore la maison bleu, elle me fait pense a un hologramme. Ca me rappelle aussi une image incrustee dans (une multifacette) image qui change avec l’angle avec lequel on regarde. L’idee est geniale et je t’encourage a l’expoitee.

    I suppose I would need some kind of “double lens” or “image splitter” — maybe even two cameras, or a mini-rail on top of a tripod which would move the camera a few inches sideways.

    It’s difficult getting the right amount of wiggle.

    You really have a good eye for photos and you should write a book @ the north and all your travels…be interesting with all these photos!
    Keep up the good work !
