         Actually, I published a picture from Kevin Kidd
         with about 30 degrees of base tilt in 2007.
         "The Leaning Tower of Rust"

         There was another in 2005, from Jay White.

         Both take your breath away.

         It would be interesting to know.... yes.

         Perhaps the tale will be told one day.

         Stay tuned!
