Hi Roger, Oh I LOVE your Alps too this is just such a fantastic album and really makes me want to visit.I know that the wild flower meadows are just wonderful too. Again I think what makes your pictures so special is the intense blue sky. Now thank you for your lovely GB entries, compliments from someone who takes such fantastic pictures really do mean a lot and my apologies for taking so long to get back to you. Finding someone who loves the mountains and understands how special they are too is wonderful. I will return for sure as you have many more albums tempting me :o) Take care now Jill

Ciao Ruggero, You are indeed very lucky to have the very splendid Alps on your doorstep, Your photography is equal to the spendour of the lakes and valleys, the blues and greens are excellent, I do not think that there is anything more pleasant than being in such spleddid surroundings by yourself with a camera, that I is my idea of heaven, Thanks for bring these wonderful picture to us al, God Bless Ken

All of your pictures are so beautiful! This is the second album of yours that I've looked at and I've downloaded most of the pictures out of both of them. The only complaint I have is that since I'm a regular member it takes a while to download them. (Smile!) You can better believe that you are in my favorites list! Keep up the fantastic work.

Please send your friends! Actually, the paintings looks better than the photo I took of it. Its much more vibrant and more detailed. But photos can not capture a paiting 100%!

News: There is a new, great and (temporarily) FREE denoise program: Picturecooler. Made by a Dutch boy. Great success on the Retouch Forum of www.Dpreview.com: they prefer it about all other programs (also the ones which cost money) such as Neatimage or Noise Ninja. For a download go to: http://members.chello.nl/r.kroonenberg2/ You can try it out but you will need a (sofar FREE) serialnumber. Send a mail to Ronnie and he will mail it. r.kroonenberg2@chello.nl Later it will cost 40 dollars.... Greetings Anna

Hi Ruggero, there is so much to love about this album, its hard to know where to begin. Its defintely one of your best. Your use of foreground objects to bring out the background is particularly notable. And the colors and compositions are stunning. Are you shooting digital or film? Thanks for your comments on my Big Sur album which is the coast of California, south of Carmel, California where Clint Eastwood used to be mayor. I like number 47 (the B&W) a lot too and even submitted it to a photo competition, but the judges didn't share my enthusiasm. It didn't even get honorable mention. C'est la vie! Ciao! Lowell

Ha Ha Ha :-D We do have human dinosaurs in Israel! I don't know much about the other dinosaurs. I don't know what cornivorous is. But it's possible that what you saw is really a footprint of a dinosaur because it was a little wet, and I think that in the age of dinosaure Israel was covered by the sea... and so was Italy. You have a strange imagination... but I like it. I'm waiting for more of your albums... UN FORTE ABBRACCIO - Orly

Hi Ruggero, thank you for looking at my roses ....wow, that was a week ago! Shame on me! It was a wild week! Yes, the rose you have chosen was still free. In fact my business is kind of low and slow. People are busy with Christmas! I really like, that you compare your rose to a wonderful girl, so I added that to the caption! Here is a shortcut straight to your rose: http://community.webshots.com/photo/208108430/208178168vaGtCt Looking at this spring album I am thinking how this place may look like now? It is such a beautiful place. Now in winter the pictures look even more beautiful - because it is so far away, so much time till spring again. My favorite picture is that twin tree #51 - alone on the beach. I like trees and this is such a perfect tree. The twinkling, perfectly clear water is an excellent background. Please go on, maybe a little wonder during the Christmas time: show us some more :-) please :-) maybe a great come back? :-) Have a beautiful day - Galit from Israel

Ora dovrò iscrivermi alla Big Ben Academy per riuscire a rispondere in tempi accettabili a tutti quanti…. Sinceramente ti ringrazio per il gratificante commento sulle foto di S.Antioco!!! Avevo terrore di pubblicarle (quelle, come qualsiasi altra!!!). Dopo tutte le belle parole spese da tutti voi su Bosa ero sicura di deludere incommensurabilmente !!! Grazie mio prode rinfrancatore di spirito!!! Hey, Rug-genio, guarda che se le foto che hai ancora nel cassetto sono come quelle di questo tuo ultimo stupendo album siamo senza dubbio in tanti a non veder l’ora di ammirarle!!!

Illustre Maestro, tutto il mio rispetto!!! Valeva la pena di attendere tanto per poi poter sfogliare un album di così rara bellezza. Una volta di più sono senza parole!!! E’ impossibile preferire un’immagine ad un’altra. Sono tutte assolutamente PERFETTE. Sei riuscito a far amare incondizionatamente la montagna anche ad un essere acquatico come me! Eccellente lavoro! Grazie per il messaggio!…non ci avrei mai scommesso…tanto meno su quell’album. Un grande abbraccio. Simona

Ciao Ruggero, so glad to see a new album of yours....I loved the nature walk that you shared here, the scenery is stunning! Must have been a divine silence hiking amid the trail to the Lake. I loved #51 the best as it just looked like the perfect place to sit and take in all the natural wonder. A great place to be inspired and write! Such a beautiful day to go out and enjoy the breath taking views of the Alps. Grazie Mille as always Ruggero for a spectacular tour into your insight of perfect beauty. Take care and always let natures blessings keep you wanting more!!! Ciao my friend and all the best, amy :)

Dear Ruggero, I really hope that you will have time to read my salute... there are so many well wishers already here that my words might be supperfluos or even boring. I can not be first, second any more, when I return from work the place is filled with wonderful words from your friends. Good for you and I am happy for you. You turned out a WEBSHOTMASTER , since Debra (dbooth) indicated me your name as a promising photographer, much water flow under the bridges and many beautiful photos did you upload into exquisite albums. All of them have their own enchantment and beauty. This one is not exception of course: # 18 is one of my favorites, 12, 13, 21, 47, 48 and the list is long. Time is a tirane and all we have our hectic life and pace, but I still come in almost every day to check on my favorites members. Only I am a little late. I SALUTE you as a poet with a camera and a man with a golden heart. Caterina/Kathy

Ruggero, No apologies needed. One does not need to travel the world to find masterpieces, they are often in our own back yard. You have been blessed with given talent & I hope you will always continue to share with us ..... Cathy

Bravo Ruggero! Che bellissimo album! Che colori, che composizione, che meraviglia! Ogni scatto e un capolavoro. Io appena mai esco dalla citta e quando vedo attraverso i tuoi ochi tanti paessaggi e tanta bellezza che la natura ci offre divento veramente emozionata. Grazie, amico. Ti saluto con tanto affetto. Joana

Ciao Ruggero! E'stato un piacere, come sempre, sfogliare il tuo album. Che bei colori, che splendidi paesaggi! Per fortuna ci sono degli escursionisti arditi come te che permettono a quelli meno dinamici di vedere certi posti remoti nelle Alpi - grazie per questa splendida collezione e cordiali saluti da Zurigo! Mike

Hello, Ruggero! I have no words to express the beauty you have captured during your hike! It is like a walk in paradise. The meadows, the lake, the carpet of flowers and the beautiful quaint villages on the way add marvellous scenery. The photographs are better than the best I see in any travel magazine or the glossiest fashion and Nat Geo magazine. Really, Ruggero, you are a master of taking such fantastic pictures for others to enjoy. I thank you so much for sharing these with us. Take care, my friend! With warm regards, Suresh

Hi Ruggero! oh what a wonderful suprise to start my morning, before work, with your wonderful album. You are able to present your art work beautiful with a little help from nature and what a combination. Thanks for the walk in the natural garden. Best wishes Marietta

said traumasister 2004.11.23 at 06:29:12 PST

You're better and better every day my friend... I know I gonna be irritating once more, but really, sincerely, I'm totally unable to satisfy your critics request, once again... Everything in this album is what I'm living for, what I would like to have every day of my life. On top of this, if you're really able to "walk over the water", this is the proof that you are closer to God than to the "commun human photographer", you cannot say the contrary, can you? These are not just "shots" , these are the Beauty digitallized... "Death and life" is a masterpiece and my favorite one. I will come back to download all these treasures when my boss leaves for his home. I can tell you which ones I won't download: they are #18 and #32, 33 because their vertical orientation cannot fit my screen. Sorry to deceive you but all this is really really awesome...

Hi Ruggero! Thanks for the lovely tour!! I took it with my morning tea. As usual, the map was a perfect addition so I know where I tread. The water, the mountain flowers, the views I never get to see here in Dallas. Than you for sharing them with us! Hugs...barbara

said mdediego 2004.11.22 at 13:36:36 PST

Grazie Ruggero, da quando me ne avevi accennato, attendevo impaziente questo album... Non ho parole.... ed alla magnificenza di queste immagini si aggiunge il ricordo di un luogo incantato e stupendo. Proprio su queste montagne mi sono guadagnato i "galloni&quo t; di istruttore di sci-alpinismo (per la parte dedicata alla "roccia&quot ;) una ventina di anni fa'. Il cielo... le nuvole... la chiesetta e i balconi fioriti... tutto il colore e lo splendore di questi luoghi sono esaltati dal tuo capolavoro! Un caro saluto. Elio

said pansaram 2004.11.22 at 13:18:01 PST

Hi Ruggero, What a stunning album, this one really should be a feature very soon! I had forgotten just how beautiful your country is as it's thirty five years since my last visit. Your album and your superb photos have made me want to see it all again. Blessings...Meg.

said m62000 2004.11.22 at 12:25:37 PST

Un bel viaggio virtuale in queste meravigliiose Alpi ! Hai fatto un ottimo lavoro caro Ruggero, splendide composizioni molto curate, ottimi colori e luci. Complimenti...Ciao....Wal ter

said walters4it 2004.11.22 at 10:22:46 PST

One of the nicest albums of Alps to me. Congratulations. Many favorits there; the yellow carpet, happy water, I love my Alps, time for a fresh drink, far clouds... and many more. Happy for you. You must have had a wonderful time there. Hi again Ruggero. Nice to know you and your photography. Antti, Finland

said anttiolavi 2004.11.22 at 10:15:10 PST

Hello Ruggero! Saw watching in silence and had to write imidiately to your book my appreciasion about your photo. An extraordinary nice shot my friend. EVERYTHING in place. Congratulations! You know how to make it perfecto. All the best, Antti

said anttiolavi 2004.11.22 at 09:53:22 PST

Ciao Ruggero - che stupendi! Ci sono troppi di scelgiere, ogni foto e bellissima! Se DEVO scelgiare, i miei preferti sono numeri 8, 12, 20, 25, 47, 51... ma ci sono troppi! Vedo che il tempo era meglio di quando saremo in italia, anche in maggio. Che fortuna! Un forte abbraccio, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.11.22 at 08:30:41 PST

wellcome back, Ruggero! che piacere rivedere le tue passegiate tra le montagne :)) foto stupende che ci raccontano una vera emozione, complimenti come sempre, un abbraccio, Clara

said clarita137 2004.11.22 at 08:00:39 PST

Dear friend, if I can only select one photo from this album .... the little church (021), expressing nature's beauty in this way ... simple but truly gorgeous! CS

said csfoto 2004.11.22 at 07:06:57 PST

Ciao Ruggiero. Sono un po geloso, perche la mia condizione fisica non mi permette più di fare passeggiate come questo. Ma tu sei molto simpatica mostrando mi che cosa potrebbero vedere. E i foto sono meravigliosi, molto chiari, colori intensi come si vede nella alta montagna. Splendido! Per il resto sono d'accorda con Orly, qui sopra! Sante in Olanda.

said sante1 2004.11.22 at 06:19:50 PST

Ciao Ruggero mi amico! This album is so wonderful I can't even express it with my bad English ;-) or any other language... Seriously our servers are very slow today (not a Webshots problem) but I didn't mind it, I just viewed every picture for a long time and forgot about everything else. So I think you really succeeded here in transmitting the feeling of walking in your Alps. It's too bad we had to wait 6 months to see these pictures, but on the other hand I'm sure that I enjoyed them more now, because - unlike the last time I wrote you - now we have heavy rain and dark clouds and thunderstorms. So your photos are very brightening. Excuse me that I don't choose a list of favorites because it would be too hard but again I love the flowers with the snowy mountains like in the cover or number 12. It's fabulous. Wow I can't imagine you have so many more photos that you haven't published yet. They should give you a vacation from work. Meanwhile une grande grand abbraccio! Orly

said orlyyahalom 2004.11.22 at 06:13:00 PST

i luv #18 and this album is gorgeous you are so lucky to hike here! take care my friend, and thank you for sharing, your friend, always, ann

said sadlers7 2004.11.22 at 06:11:08 PST

Ooooooooops! Let me continue ... Now I truly believe Italian Alps is also ever ever ever so attractive. I also start to get a clearer picture ... late spring or early summer perhaps is a more appropriate time for sunny weather, autumn time is rainy and misty, as you have said before ... two months raining days. Similarly I can't have any specific selection for this album, because I like all of them! Pink, green, blue, white, and even the rocky mountains, all are perfectly matched, especially through your eyes, through your camera. Congratulations to you again for your great work. Thank you very much, dear friend! CS

said csfoto 2004.11.22 at 05:17:17 PST

Dear Ruggero, seeing your spectacular pictures, I am really considering again and again, do I include northern Italian Alps in my next year trip, which may also include Lake Como. THANKS GOD, THANKS RUGGERO

Ciao Ruggero, foto semplicemente magiche. I colori super saturi, le perfette composizioni conferiscono a questo album un gradevole aspetto....ovviamente,il freddo di questi giorni ci fa assaporare meglio il dolce clima primaverile delle tue foto. Bravo....come sempre. Ciao Maurizio.
