  2. 750 piece jigsaw of Ponte di Rialto in Venice? Well, 749 as seems missing one piece on right hand side! How frustrating!
    Impressive photography though - did you snap a picture every minute or something?
    Tell us more about yourself on Blog. Where do you work, what did you do, when do you retire!?

  3. I never noticed that missing piece. It's on the original video without sound so I guess that when I added the audio track I didn't get the full 751 frames (frame 1 being just the table).

    I finished the jigsaw then took a piece off then took a picture and reversed the order :)
