aaahh  so we finally see the avatar in its full glory, they are very good, i think Micro Amoudi II is my favourite though.

re other artists, i think i have the contact details for the german guy who used to have the art shop in Matala, but i'd have to dig around for it later ( Rauschman???)

good idea about converting the google image, i'll have a play and see what i come up with, if want a go as well, you can get a full copy from here My smugmug page

30th June eh?

Thank you for your friendly comments...  ...
I grabbed the saelite pic from your site. What a mastership in mounting the puzzle- pieces together!

Yes, 30th of June! I hope there will be no football related riots in plakias

i've been messing around this morning  ( the cats away) i can't seem to get a full screen version of the Crete pics running but I should be able to photo merge several screenshots together to give an overall photographic map of the town.

we could then index it .....

B  Kostas-Chrysoulla
C Ali and Dave's shop

Have you taken this any further Chris??
I personnally think this would be ab fab if we could get Googles permission, besides we're not using it for any profit making enterprise and if we leave the Google copyright visible it will give them a plug!

Hi Chris
Sorted!!
I sent Google a note this morning, hopefully they will get back to me asap.
I will keep the board informed of any progress.

The begging letter is as follows:

I am a participant in a web site ie 'plakias.co.uk'.
It is a web site for people who go to Plakias Crete for their holidays etc.
We are in the process of trying to create a map of the area, indicating hotels, restaurants, places of interest etc., and one of our members has 'dabbled' with one of your 'Google Earth' images and it will be absolutely perfect for our needs.
The site is entirely NON profit making and is for interest only for the Plakias enthusiast.
The sample tried can be viewed on the message board of www.plakias.co.uk and there is no intention of taking this any further and will be deleted at your request.
The Question: Would you have any objections to us using these images for this purpose. We would of could indicate that the map is by courtesy of Google and all your copyright information would remain visually intact.
We would obviously require your written permission before we progress any further.
I look forward to your reply.

aka 'george g...'

We can only wait for a reply!
