  2. Thanks - I really like it too. I just clicked your link and think your version's pretty good too. I recognise the green wall, near Custard Factory? It's simple, yet clever but takes a bit of time editing & stitching them together. But I'm feeling inspired - I think I'll definitely give it a go!
