Congratulations Ruggero on your selection as "Featured member of the Week" as it's truly a well deserved Honor & Tribute to you...Thanks for sharing another one of your awesome albums...God's Blessings from Texas...Ken

Truly beautiful photography of a marvelous landscape. Exquistitely clear colors do justice to the beauty of it all. Are you shooting film or digital, and if digital, what type of camera and filters are you using? Thanks for sharing so many stunning photographs.

said sisterliz 2005.08.15 at 15:29:55 PDT

Hi Roger, First of all thank you so much for your really kind guestbook entry in my Monkton Nature reserve album. Compliments like that from someone who takes such stunning shots means an awful lot. If you look at some of my other albums you can see we like to walk the hills too. There is nothing like making the effort to reach a peak and getting stunning views,especially if they are like the ones in this album. You suddenly forget all those times it might have hurt on the way up. Not many people understand why you would want to climb a mountain but I know there is noting quite like it. Back to this album now I can't get over the intense blue of the sky and it adds to all of your shots. Its impossible to choose a favourite because they are all just perfect :o) We had a holiday in out lovely Lake District recently and I think you have seen one of the albums for that but if you get chance to look at my Crinkle Crags and Bowfell album sometime you would probably see those hills at their best You take care now Jill

Hi There: May I please have permission to paint your lovely photograph of 012-watchi My Alps. I am an 80 year old grandmother with oil painting as a hobby. There is no chance I would be selling my paintings commercially, but I do like to ask permission before I paint anything on Webshots. Thank you for your consideration. eileen_walt@telus.net

Ciao Ruggero! With a superlative guide like you, this is definitiely the BEST place on the Alps!

said orlyyahalom 2005.05.16 at 05:57:06 PDT

Ciao Ruggero, I have returned here for another hike with my friend from Milano. I can never get enough of your beautiful mountains, and as I hike this mountain with you I can vividly recall our day on Mottarone - nearly a year ago! Thanks for your nice comments in my Sonoma Countryside album. I hope some day to be able to return the favor you gave us last year, and take you and your family to some of my favorite places here in northern California, like those shown in the album. Have a wonderful rest of the week, my friend. Con affetto, Beth

said bvillanyi 2005.05.11 at 07:41:56 PDT

Tale privilegio di essere in grado di camminare le Alpi mentre sedendo nella mia casa in America del nord! Penso che il mio preferito sia il "rifugio dello shepard" a causa del sentimento di pace che evoca, ma tutto sbalordiscono, dunque è duro per scegliere. Ringraziarla Ruggero! From D in Washington State, USA. P.S. Hope you can read my Italian :-)

Ciao Ruggero! I don't know how I missed this album before - it is gorgeous! I think it's your best yet - every picture is crisp and clear and perfectly composed. And of course you had perfect weather yet again! Thanks for your note in my new album - you beat Kathy by 2 seconds. I'm adding more to my new album as I try different things with the camera - it really is a joy to use. Ciao and a big hug, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.11.25 at 19:22:48 PST

Hi Ruggero. Here again with your always sooo gorgeous alps of yours. I just have to drive next time through those places when going back to Finland. There seems to be so much to been seen - even in that northern part of Italy. Greetings, Antti; that flower was ment to just everybody, but changed the name of the album a bit. Usually I send flowers only for nice girls - in all ages

said sarkilahti101 2004.11.23 at 01:50:59 PST

A very nice album Ruggero! lillac and blue, looking behind, three colors and all those fabulous sceneries. Great to travel with you - this is like a dream. Hope to see those places next spring when driving home through those districts. All the very best to you and your family, Antti; I´ll accept all your thoughts about my Artesanato album - thanks anyway - and have a nice coffee you too - the great Italian Expresso, and or a clas of some nice wine maybe

said sarkilahti101 2004.11.02 at 03:03:44 PST

Ruggero, they are all beautiful! Don't you ever work?

said lvillanyi 2004.10.12 at 08:10:28 PDT

Caro Ruggero, ti devo confessare un grave peccato. Avevo visitato questo tuo album, forse un po’ frettolosamente, ma non così in fretta da non notare la meraviglia del risultato che hai ottenuto. Solo che poi sono stato preso da alcuni “problemini” di lavoro e così i miei commenti sono passati in cavalleria. Pongo rimedio, anche se in ritardo, esprimendoti subito con calore i miei complimenti. Come maneggi tu i colori, come sai far brillare i paesaggi di una luce così calda e intensa su WS non hai rivali. Le tue foto trasmettono insieme un profondo amore per la montagna (grandioso il titolo che fa riferimento alla Canzone della Creazione: se non fosse così coerente con l'intensità delle emozioni che traspaiono da questo tuo album, potrebbe apparire un po’ retorico) e la tua ricerca instancabile della perfezione tanto che riesci a ricondurre ad una cromaticità assoluta i soggetti dei tuoi scatti. Imprimi agli azzurri, ai rossi, ai verdi una tonalità così intensa da rendere i posti che riproduci, se possibile, ancora più belli di quanto non lo siano nella realtà (ti nomino primo assistente del Creatore per il conferimento di ulteriore appeal alle Sue già notevoli opere). Chapeau. Lo dico nel mio cattivo inglese così capiscono tutti i tuoi innumerevoli e meritati estimatori: YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE MASTER IN CHROMATICAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Quali le foto migliori?. Sono tutte meravigliose. Col cuore però io ho trovato perfetta, che dico, sublime, che dico, inarrivabile, quella intitolata “I Motti lunch time”: queste mucche sui prati verdissimi con la baita in pietra che sbuca, ammiccante e sorniona, rendendosi protagonista della inquadratura, sovrastata graziosamente dalle nuvolette bianche sul cielo azzurro, una delle quali (vedi un po’ la mia perversa fantasia fino a dove può arrivare), precisamente quella più a destra, che mi ricorda fortemente, con la sua silouette, un cane barboncino bianco, col musetto sulla sinistra della nuvola, con gli occhietti fissi sulla baita, le zampe posteriori simmetricamente aperte verso l’esterno ma pronte forse per un balzo. Con la zampetta anteriore destra saluta sereno la natura sottostante in atteggiamento di benevola nonsalanche. Per questa sera ti saluto e chiedo scusa per i miei voli pindarici: ma tu mi provochi!. Un abbraccio dal tuo amico Claudio.

Wonderful slideshow... I really enjoyed my visit ! Thank you for your nice words in my Poppies album . Je te donne rendez vous pour voir mes nouvelles photos début Octobre à notre retour de Santiago de Compostela ! Mary

said marywilford 2004.09.16 at 03:56:06 PDT

Ciao Ruggero, ti ringrazio per l'incoraggiamento e le parole di apprezzamento..... ero un po' titubante sulla possibilità di inserire delle foto su webshots visto che il mio fratellone (palclaud) è già un guru dell'immagine ;-)ed ero un po' intimidito... Apprezzo molto l'idea di inserire la mappa della gita e quindi penso che per i prossimi "reportages& quot; prenderò spunto dai tuoi album. Molto belli! Adoro l'attività in montagna e da tempo pratico oltre all'escursionismo anche lo sci-alpinismo.... la mountain bike l'ho lasciata un po' da parte per problemi di schiena. Ho gustato particolarmente gli album dedicati alla Val Vigezzo che non ho ancora visitato... ed alla valle del Lys. Ho apprrezzato moltissimo le foto 25 e 26 anche perchè oltre allo stupendo paesaggio mettono in evidenza la caratteristica modalità di copertura delle baite in quella zona... Visto che ami la montagna ti ricordo un link ad un sito che sicuramente conoscerai.... www.gulliver.it dove è possible trovare relazioni su gite a piedi in MTB e quanto altro possa aiutare l'escursionista nel programmare e scegliere gli itinerari. Grazie Elio

Hello Roger, thank you so much for sharing this extremely gorgeous album! I love your photos, they represent the peace and beauty so well, and I hope you've enjoyed your hiking trip immensely! This trip was to me a very inspiring one, I like walking in the nature too, so thank you for letting us hike with you. :D Your photos are brilliant! I'm looking forward to viewing more of your beautiful shots. Warm wishes, Salla, Finland

Hi, Italian hiker. As a mountain lover (and if you have time), you should have a look on the album called "Alpes" on the homepage of one of the 3 daily features today: "winsydney&q uot;. Something tells me you should like these shots. Ciao, have a good day. pp

Hi Ruggero! I really appreciate your comments and advise. I'm feeling quite embarrassed about making my silly thoughts public and causing such pain to all my friends. Instead of standing along with everybody, I found the easy way to end the pain by quitting. Ah! What a shame! I really acted like a coward I guess. However I’m happy that my friends opened my eyes and made me look around and realize how wrong I was and I'm glad that I agreed. Here I'm again, starting to rebuild life from the scratch. I know it'll take me a while to come back in force, but I promise that I will. And I mean it. Thank you, my friend. Cheers! Sanjay

Hi Roger! This is a fantastic picture album you have put together. This one rates as one of the best I have seen in webshots. Each picture is breathtakingly beautiful, vivid colours, sensitive psespectives, deep contrasting clouds, you name it you have it. It has been a very long time since I have hiked in the Alps and this trip of yours has kindled in me a desire to do so again. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures. Best wishes, Suresh

Ruggero...I know you have gone on holiday but I am hoping on your laptop you will check in to see that it is your pleas for the sake of us all, that I stay that have touched me most. To leave was breaking my heart. In that regard I have posted a second announcement with my decision to STAY and fight the good fight. Here is a bit of a message I posted to CS Leung on the matter of staying..... =================> You speak the truth....with us gone... they can return to their happy lives...i know when we are gone the spring breakers, girls with half exposed body parts and drunken boys will not write ugly letters to them complaining about their art being compromised!!!!!! LOL...that whole idea cracks me up! Thank you for your messages. The community had held us and especially CLARA in it's arms. We are together!!! What a great community!!! I am with you!!! :o)b barbara ps..... be safe.....thinking of you!!! :o)b

said pompeii7 2004.08.01 at 09:59:16 PDT

My dear guide! I trust you, but it seems you begin to lose your way. I've asked Barbara to re-consider again. UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, this is exactly what WS is waiting for and wants to see. As we all quit. There won't be anymore protests and complants everyday. Everything apparently returns to normal. Moreover, in my opinion, as we all pull out, I think this is quite unfair to all our WS friends leaving behind. We all are in such a nice family from around the world. This is truly incredible. As you said in Barbara's guestbook, you still have beautiful shots from your trips. I'M WAITING!!! Please kindly think it over again my dear Italian guide. I'm longing for an album of Dolomites from you, just from you, not from others! God Bless You! CS

Hi ruggero. I am writing to you quickly because I know you are going on holiday and I wanted you to be aware of this before you go. I have decided to pull my albums from webshots. I fear for our future there...even leaving won't make any difference to them. They will be happy as long as they have their mindless spring breaking losers sending them money. I am sad what has happened and I dread leaving all of you, but I will pop up in a better site and maybe I will be visited there. I have always been concerned about having my images out there for anyone to take anyhow. So this morning I decided to drop out. I am not the only one. You will hear of more. Please stay in touch by mail. I value you and your friendship so much. :o(b

Ciao Ruggero ! What a hike ! Beautiful colors and landscapes : only the parfume of the flowers is missing :) Your shots are full of the love you have for mountains and nature : I love the refuge and the cows pics, the flower pics, the rock pics and finally, I guess I love all your shots ! I will be hiking in the Alps in 10 days (Vercors : french Alps) and I hope I will have thepleasure to see as wonderful landscapes as yours. Thanks for the cool training through your album :) Thanks too for your so gentle comment on my Les Fontaines album. Have a nice week-end and a great week Ruggero, friendly, Chantal

Hi Friend! I just have to come back to express my unhappiness about Clarita! Everytime I see her guestbook, I feel sad! Though my homepage is finally updated today, so what? In my opinion, WS is CERTAINLY HAVING SOME SORT OF DISCRIMINATION!!! Frankly speaking, whether my album is featured or not, I don't truly mind. I don't trust WS. I am ever in doubt about what professional quality they have to select featured album. I join Webshots simply because I want to share my photos with friends from around the world. I like talking with people from around the world. Anyway, we all continue to support Clarita. Thank you very very very much for informing me to join the force. God Bless You! CS

said csfoto 2004.07.30 at 09:23:37 PDT

Ciao Ruggero! Un'altra grandissima impresa! Le foto sono di altissimo livello, il posto è meritevole della tua fatica! Se ho ben compreso la mappa, il sentiero copre un dislivello di circa 1000 metri! Ti invidio per aver trovato una giornata splendida con sole, aria tersa, orizzonti infiniti e a decorare il tutto qualche nuvoletta innocua. L'album è una meraviglia nel suo complesso e la sequenza temporale ordinata dall'incedere dei tuoi passi è la caratteristica che prediligo e che ritengo obbligatoria per la descrizione di un escursione in montagna. Anch'io stavolta ti segnalo i (molti) scatti che preferisco: 1,5,9,10,15,16,19,23,26,3 5,38,40,43,48,51,56,58. Come nota personale aggiungo che queste montagne, di quote non elevate, hanno una certa affinità con la zona del Lagorai in Trentino: anche qui fittissimi boschi, prati in quota e formazioni rocciose che spuntano solo sulle cime facendosi largo tra il verde dominante e il cielo (azzurro se si ha fortuna). Commosso, come può esserlo un amante della montagna, ti ringrazio delle spettacolari e coloratissime viste e ti rivolgo un caloroso saluto. Luca

Dear Ruggero, I showed my husband, inside my Desktop Installation, your shots in this album. He said you must be a professional!!! Not only because you know how to make use of your camera, but you also pay attention to weather, light, angles of shooting. He enjoyed these shots very, very much, envying your youth and good health! His best compliments to you for such a beautiful work. Gabriela (on behalf of Yoshiyuki Tanaka)

This is exactly what I've been experiencing for the past couple of days! Anyway, we all still hope for the best. Back to this new album. As I've said to you AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! Every scenery album of yours is INCREDIBLE AND UNBEATABLE!!! I have a dream that one day, I will hire you as my personal guide, maybe for a month, (enough? surely not! give me your quotation! HA HA HA!) to tour and hike around the whole of northern Italy, the Italian Alps .... Now the selection ..... the wood old giant, very interesting ... last tree, last flowers, they all are not lomesome ... AND ON THE TOP!!! Is that what is left behind! WHERE IS THE HERO??? I did received a call from Italy (country code 618), the man said that he was going to disappear at a mountain top, then .....

Hi Ruggero! First of all let me thank you for being there for Clara and all of us here! Secondly let me thank you again for your kind comments on my featured album. That was really touching! Now let me congratulate you on this beautiful compilation of nature photography. Man! You're unstoppable. You're performing wonders with your camera!! Both day and night shots. As I had written you before, I love your night photographs! And now you're showing the lighter side of yours with these terrific collection of nature pics. Wow! Quite an artist you're!! Absolutely breathtaking!! I'm hoping to see this album feature soon... and hoping to sign first that day..if others let me do so...lol. Take care, my friend and have a great day. Cheers! Sanjay P.S. Your friendly attitude is your real merit, Ruggero! God bless you...

Ciao Ruggero ! It is so nice of you to have written such warm words of appreciation about my featured album. I admire your photos and the choice of your compositions. Your words inspire me as much as your pictures. Warm ragards, Suresh

Ciao Ruggero, Thank you for the invite because I did not see that artistic and sportive creation on my screen; Oh my God!!! I breath the fresh air you bring me; It have to say that it is always pleasant to look at your photos; Here I love 24, 25, 28, 37, 56 and of course the brilliant last one; Have a good evening, Jacques

Ciao Ruggero, come al solito hai saputo interpretare in maniera egregia lo spirito della montagna. Credo che chi veda le tue foto non può che essere esaltato dalla selvaggia bellezza di quei monti che tu sai far vivere. Ciao Franco F.

The song of Creation! YES! What is most amazing in this album, I think, is that I can feel the clearer than clear mountain air. And the special sound of nature. My favorites are everything: The flowers, the mountains, the beautiful lake and the snow. I also smiled when I saw the "on the top" photo that you sent me several times as a thumbnail. It's a great picture, but I think the path is no less important than the destination. I'm in a philosophic mood, I guess, but a good one. This album is truely a fantastic treatment for the soul. It simply brings serenity. I hope you will also have a wonderful time in Southern Italy. Such a beautiful country you have!! One more hug :-) Orly

Dearest FRIEND Ruggero, I am so glad to be the first to congratulate you in this wonderful album. Specially for me( and you know why) if somebody walks all this path and plus takes beautiful photos , that is a task of a GIANT (better a "macro" giant,eh eh)!!!And you do it and did it. I love shots 1, 37,40,46,58 the most. But allso 10,17,19,26 and 27...as you see almost all. Fantastic place, great photos and your captions make it still nicer as I would be hiking the same path..Glorious colors, can almost feel the sun on my skin in this gorgeous place. Thank you for lending me your feet, your camera and artistry. Warmest hugs, as always/caterina
