Jocke,

Those pictures were sensational. I was also truly impressed with the architecture of the area. Cannot wait to see your new pictures and further report.

What sort of camera were you using, if I might ask?

Cheers,
Michael

I'm eager to see what is revealed at Basel. Ill probably be signed on TRF the whole entire first day of the event to learn about any breaking news the moment it is unveiled.

To those going, have a safe trip and a great time at Basel. Be sure to take lots of pictures. I hope to go someday myself if I can, maybe if I can reserve for it now.
