Glenmorangie Barrels 5

Some of you may have noticed that the DrikoLand Gallery has a new look. Although I recently redesigned with the MG2 gallery software, I found it too unwieldy and difficult to customize. After playing around with several software applications again, I decided on JAlbum, a free photo album creation and management application that has a large user base and extensive support, offers many customizable templates, and allows for very easy website synchronization. I'm using a slightly modified version of the Chameleon template's "Black" style (grey title bar backgrounds rather than the amber defaults), but there are dozens of other templates to choose from with their own styles. The smart upload option automatically uploads changed files to an FTP account with the click of one button, much simpler than the manual uploads I had to do before. If you're interested in more details, feel free to contact me; their website is chock full of information as well.

Now that I've finished transitioning, I've finally started to post pictures from our recent Scotland vacation to the DrikoLand Gallery. As of this post, I've added photos from ten of the thirteen days we visited and hope to finish the rest soon.

Speaking of Scotland photos, one of my Scotland photos that I posted to the flickr Scotland Pool was nominated for inclusion in the Flickr Scotland blog (actual post permalink here). The picture (seen above) is entitled Glenmorangie Barrels 5 and depicts empty whisky barrels outside of the Glenmorangie Distillery. I really liked their arrangement, and in particular I composed it so that one of the foreground barrels clearly showed that Jack Daniels bourbon barrels are used in the aging process. It's always nice to be appreciated... :-)
