The photos in these galleries are either in the public domain, or permission has been granted by the owner (or, in a few cases, permission has been requested). Links to the source websites are given for all photos where possible. Many thanks to those responsible. If anyone has any objections to my use of particular photos please feel free to contact me. If you wish to use any of these photos yourself, please contact the owner directly for permission.
