OK, here are some of my shots from Maytown in sepia.
Actually they were taken about 100 years ago, believe that?

BTW, thanks Campdog.
I found some software called 'Shutterfly Studio', I think it has done the job well.

Can't remember what this one was called, damn, I'll have to go back ;)

I still can't inderstand why they went to so much trouble to get these machines into such a remote area, especially travelling along the road they had to cut in.
Some of this stuff only operated for a few years, such is the lure of gold.
