Your albums on Scotland and The West Country are very good, varied and with excellent composition. What a beautiful Country we have Rod, looking through your albums reminds me of places I have visited. The countryside and wildlife are amongst my favourite subjects and you have covered them so well. So pleased you enjoyed my Arran Albums it is a place I never tire of and will be there again later this month. Can't Wait. My very best wishes./Elaine.

Rod, I have only just realised that you were featured whilst we were away on our extended stay in Arran. I would like to offer my belated Congratulations on this well deserved feature. All your albums are excellent but this one is deserving of recognition. As you know Rod I love Scotland and since returning have been absorbed in sorting out the many pics I took and have not spent hardly any time browsing. I will also take this opportunity to thankyou for signing my feature yesterday and for the very nice and flattering comments you made. My Kindest Regards, /Elaine.

said photomad6 2002.10.08 at 04:15:22 PDT

said sweetjanelouise 2002.11.21 at 16:01:05 PST

Rod...this album just grows more beautiful as you add to it. I love the Cuillins, the cove and the Scottish Croft, they are my favourite. The Cuillins is so unusual, the colouring. I have heard of that name before. Does it mean a valley or is it a place? Very good album. Merry Christmas to you and a very Happy New Year., Barbara http://community.webshots.com/user/midnight_lace

said barbara 2002.12.15 at 13:32:47 PST

Rod, this Album is woderful. Thank you for sharing these with us all. I loved The Gamers Cottage. I downloaded it to my WebShots. Thank you for all of the great comments you made in my Sunsets Album.

Many Greetings Rod to you and your family on this Christmas morning. Thankyou for your continued kindness thoughout this year, your messages are always appreciated. Rod this is a fantastic album and has such a great assortment of beautiful photo's. They are all first class but my favourite is "The Cullins" it reminds me of the many happy visits to Skye. Many thanks Rod for signing my Christmas greetings guestbook and your kind wishes which I fully reciprocate.Best wishes. Elaine.

said photomad6 2002.12.25 at 01:04:56 PST

Rod, just having a wee browse through your album again, Dartmoor Stream is excellent so full of colour with the heather, water and rocks, just like a postcard. We are battling up here against the dull dreich weather so we don't have many additions to our albums. All the best for 2003 Louise & Doug

said lcmcgil 2002.12.26 at 15:18:27 PST

I can see why this album was featured! I really enjoy your tours. Your photos are beautiful and your comments are so informative! I always get so many wonderful downloads when I visit your albums! Red Deer, Blair Castle, and Cairngorm Summit in Early May are just three of my favorites. There are so many more! Thanks so much for visiting my albums and for your kind and generous comments in my guestbooks! I really appreciate your visits! I love the birds too! Happy New Year to you and those you love! :-) Jane

Hi Rod. I've just pinched a few more photos for my screensaver, thankyou. Do you wait for the right time of day to take all your photos or do you guys just have a nice soft light all the time?. The light here in Oz will flatten anything you take in the middle hours of the day. Thanks again for sharing. Al.

said shortshooter 2005.05.17 at 20:17:15 PDT

Hi Rod or is it Chris, A wonderful mix of the North and of the South, It is a wonderful idea, to have things so far apart in one album, By the way a very very belated Congratulations for this superb album.

said divinacomedia101 2005.10.02 at 05:15:31 PDT

Dear Rod, I can't believe I have never signed this GB before. I can now appreciate too just how long you have been taking and sharing your pictures Lots of places to recognise here and I think my favourite has to be Rannoch moor somewhere that fascinated me when we drove that way and I would love to stop there one day. Thank you for your GB today If we had gone home without having had a go at reaching the summit of Ben nevis I would have felt something was missing from our holiday. I only started putting my pictures onto webshots so I could share them with friends from an online Fellwalking club I belong to, thats why there are so many lake district walks. The fact that other people have found my pictures and enjoy them too always amazes and delights me.I have made so many friends this way and thats the biggest pleasure. The path up Ben Nevis is not a difficult one at all its nicely graded but it does get rough above 3000 ft I can honestly say the summit of Scaffell Pike is much harder going as are a lot of other paths in the Lake District. I was suprisingly Ok the following day just a bit stiff in the legs but ok as long as you kept going I would recommend for anyone to have a go but treat the mountain with respect and know how to navigate themselves of a misty summit. I'm sure most that reach the summit just play follow my leader to get down again, completely unaware of the sheer cliff face and gullies that are the danger just a few feet from the summit cairn :-/ Hope you have a good weekend now Take care Jill

said jillbatchelor 2005.10.21 at 06:39:17 PDT

Hi Rod, What a wonderful blend of history, beautiful landscapes and everyday village life. It is no surprise that it was honored. Thank you for the privilege of letting me peruse through such an album and thank you also for your kind words last Friday on my Las Vegas album. Greeting from Florida, Paul.

said paul_fernandez 2005.11.07 at 07:21:34 PST

Good day Rod. Thanks for the comment on my featured album yesterday. I enjoy looking at all these UK pictures. I doubt that I will ever see them in person so it is great to be able to visit this way. If I did go, I would not know where to start taking pictures and I never know when to stop taking them anywhere so I would need a cubic fortnight of space to carry enough 1GB memory cards for the trip! Jim in Hurricane, UT and Longview, WA, USA

said jwb592002 2005.11.15 at 07:05:34 PST

Hi Rod. My very, very belated congratulations on this fantastic feature. Three years ago I hadn't even heard of Webshots! Great scenic shots as always, making Britain look GREAT. I noted the photo of Urquhart Castle. Hubby was up in Scotland a couple of weeks ago and took some pics, one of which was of this castle. You will find it in my 'fun with colour' album. When you have time, take a peek and let me know what you think. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to leave comments. Nice to hear from you. How's your weather? We've had our first lot of snow. It lasted three days, but thankfully it's all melted now. Take care. Jayne/West Midlands :) xx

said pennylane157 2005.12.01 at 10:14:19 PST

Hi Rod! This scenery is such a contrast from our Australian scenery so makes pleasant viewing. Love the Cockington scenes, the Cairngorms, Anstey's Cove, all very beautifully photographed. Thankyou for your lovely message in my guestbook from my 4-day tour of the Goldfields, I kept the camera very busy! Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with wonderful photos.. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2006.01.05 at 05:57:19 PST

Hi Rod. Many thanks for your patience in waiting for the photos to arrive in the yet another Local Beach album and for your more than generous comments. In the end I loaded them back in myself rather than wait for support. What do you think of the neutral density filter that I used for the last few photos? It is interesting to compare it with the ordinary skylight filter that is permanently on the camera. I tend to think it adds a bit of warmth. There is another ND filter with a higher rating but I think I'll stick with this one. I was going to get a polarising filter but don't think there's any need now. What do you use? Well it looks as though WS has finally sorted itself out and things are gradually getting back to normal - even got some updated stats today but I don't think they include everything from the last two weeks. Now we sit back and await whatever else they are going to spring on us! Best wishes, Peter

Hello Rod, and once again I am here to thank you very much for viewing and commenting on my latest album of the coastline around Albany. We were dead lucky in that we had four days of unbroken sunshine which is unusual in those parts - it certainly is a big help in showing off the colours of the ocean to perfection. Don't know when the next album will be forthcoming but will keep in touch. best wishes, Peter

Hello Rod, first I want to thank you for the kind words in my new Finger Lakes album. I have to tell you,, the photos in this album are very precious to me right now. I have been reading a series of books by Diana Gabaldon about Scotland and the battle at Culladen and seeing these photos just makes the books even better. I have always wanted to see Scotland and all of the old castles, buildings and land. Seeing your photos is the next best thing I guess. Thanks so much for sharing them. Christy

said savage_gardener 2006.06.04 at 20:20:36 PDT

Hiya Rod, Another lovely album - your albums are such a treat to look at! Thank you for visiting my 'paintings' and for your kind comments. Painting some of them covers up all kinds of mistakes - probably an improvement on my photography! Best wishes, Mandy
