Point of View
I am writing to ask your permission to use the photograph of the San Pedro River that appeared in your blog of January 27, 2012, Bicycling Along with the Mormon Battalion. The photograph would appear on the cover of a book to be published by UNESCO-IHE in cooperation with CRC / Taylor & Francis Publishers. On the cover the photo would be paired with a similar photo of the Jordan River (from another source). May we use your photograph?
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
