My request

Hi! I found your page http://etasport.tripod.com/id12.html while doing research for the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and thought your image (regarding Roland Garros Tennis Stadium) might be appropriate for inclusion in our articles concerning Stade de Roland Garros.

I am specifically seeking your permission to use this image: http://etasport.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/im_a0069.jpg

I would like to include your image in these articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stade_de_Roland_Garros

I would have no problem if you used my image of Roland Garros Stadium. I am a big fan of Wikipedia, I use it frequently. I have attached the photo you saw on my website in a higher resolution format from my hardrive. Please modify it as needed of course.
