<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greekandromancoins, post: 2763307, member: 87990&quot;]Wow,</p><p><br /></p><p>What a warm welcome, thank you so much for your kind words!</p><p><br /></p><p>To responsd some of your questions / comments, in no particular order:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I am from Adelaide, which is in South Australia. Total population of our state is circa 1.6m. It is not very populous compared to other capital cities such as Sydney and Melbourne but punches well above its weight.&nbsp; We have one of the best wine regions in the world, the Barossa Valley. We produce one of the most well knowna red wines in the world (Penfold&#039;s Grange). We have generated lots of great talent, including Howard Florey (Nobel Prize for development Penicillin,&nbsp; estimated to have saved over 200m lives worldwide), Anthony LaPaglia (actor), Teresa Palmer (actor), Lleyton Hewitt (tennis), Scott Hicks (Movie Director), to mention a few. It must be something in the water - 2 people I went to school with are now reasonably well known Hollywood directors. One of them launched Teresa Palmers&#039; career.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you who have visited, thank you for your positive comments. I feel alone when I say we have potential to attract tourism. Its a wonderful city with lots to offer but its people think of our city as the underdog. I feel we almost need to invest in a campaign to make everyone feel great about where they are from and start feeling more positive.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I shot the photo I shared on a white background but I have not perfected it so it comes out pure white. So, I cut and paste the coins onto a pure white background. Aside from that I have a current objective to perform little to no photo editing. This takes more effort upfront with getting the right exposure etc. but I find it rewarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I envy those of you that have retired. Well done, you are at that stage of your life where hopefully you are focusing on enjoying things you couldn&#039;t when you were working.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Yes, the photo in my avatar is from the Temnos mint. My favourite mint for Alexander tets due to the large flan and fine style. I still own one but but it is in a much lower grade than the one I parted with years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Very nice coins in all the photos above, thank you for sharing!</p><p><br /></p><p>See you all around on this forum!</p><p><br /></p><p>Peter[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
