- I followed through from Squidu. Nothing wrong with lots of photos. Makes for good lens. What you could consider though is dropping the standard table of contents module and replacing it with a thumbnail gallery of the photos (since there is very little text) which links from each thumbnail to the bigger photo.

- I enjoyed your lens. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder how much the value increases if the subject of is something really, really big. :-) Five stars!

- How amazing is this, I am bowled over by the pictures, as someone who gets seasick at the thought of a boat this has me in awe.
