After reading this I went looking, and found Lodju (also available from Debian – apt-get lodju), and then looked into gThumb. It allows you to put photos into categories, and I spent an hour last night sorting some of my snaps! I backup to DVD almost once a month so hopefully my photos are reasonably safe! Now, if only gThumb would remember when I rotate my images! I don’t want to modify the originals, but having a rotated thumbnail would be great. Lodju does it!

photoSIG – Torc Waterfall
We went down to Killarney this afternoon, and while there visited Torc Waterfall. It’s a beautiful location, the walk up to it is through a tree covered path surrounded by green-mossy rock and vegetation. I snapped a few shots up there so imagine my surprise when I saw that someone had posted a photo of the falls on Photosig a few minutes ago!
It’s unlike any of the ones I took, and it’s nice for me to see a different perspective on a beautiful scene!
