Nice picture. Thanks. Who are the X Markers? And, their monikers? Yes, including the lady with the million-dollar smile. How heavy is that chainmail?

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

The museum is a treasure. Bluescelt and I remember going there decades ago as kids. I went in 5th grade - Ms. Wisneski's class from Woodstock Elementary School. I never forgot it. I have returned three times - twice in the last two years to see the program on the Celts. The woman who does the lecture / demonstration is nice, articulate and friendly. The museum, sadly, will close because of lack of a sufficient endowment. The collection is being transferred to the Worcester Art Museum after December 31st of this year.
I will be traveling in some days to Glasgow and its environs. This was another opportunity to explore the qualities of my new iphone as a camera. The results are pleasing. Photos follow:
