  • Ciao Dear Ruggero! I'm sure people will LOVE this album like I do! I hope Webshots editors will love it too ;-) Gotta go now! TI ABBRACCIO FORTE! :-) Orly

  • P.S. I love your captions too. Like the photos, they are very bewitched :-) #18 is an amazing shot... reminded me of the "place to think". Happy New Year! Orly

  • Sono più che sicuro che data la qualità delle foto, l'originalità e la stagione, riceverai sicuramente un'altra meritatissima featured. Bravo come sempre. Maurizio.Italy

  • Ciao Ruggero! Perfettamente in armonia con la stagione, ecco di nuovo un album bellissimo con immagini diverse, ma sempre di grandissima qualità. Mi piacciono molto queste foto che suggeriscono silenzio, tranquillità e una pace "natalizia". Le mie immagini preferite sono le prime 3. Per coronare quest'anno fotografico, ti auguro per questa collezione la Feature del giorno di Natale! Cordialmente, Mike (Zurigo)

  • Caro Ruggero, avrò la feature di oggi, ma tu hai superato te stesso. Una meraviglia degna, concordo con Mike, della feature di Natale o di Capodanno. Bravissimo. Anche a me piacciono soprattutto le prime tre foto ed anche la panchina sotto la luce. In ogni caso si tratta di un album qualitativamente così professionale da meritare la sezione Gallery. Un abbraccio e tanti auguri di Buon Natale e Felice anno nuovo. Claudio.

  • Ruggero! Che meraviglia! Un album fantastico! Una foto piu' bella dell'altra e non voglio aggiungere altro. Vuoi vedere quella che ho scelto? Vai nelle mie foto favorite e la troverai. Una feature? Forse e' troppo poco. Un abbraccio, Renato.

  • Ruggero, un album magico, eseguito con perfezione. Questo è la soluzione finale del problema fotografico invernale. Ho messo via la camera, adesso spero per la primavera. Non sorprendermi allora! Veramente bello (e freddo, penso.)

  • Ruggero! Che magnifica! Non so quel e' il mio preferito, ma #3, 1, 8 e 10 sono i primi che vengono alla mia testa. #3 e' il primo foto che ho aggiunto nel mio "Favorite Photos". Come se dice "stunning" in italiano? Quest'album e' quello! Con affetto e un abbraccio grandissimo, Beth

  • My dear Ruggero, I was alert to be the first one but don't know why everybody is ahead of me already. This is a magical and wonderful album, as always your photos are superb and transmit to us that love for nature and the world. Life is beautiful and you capture it with artistry and excellence. It is only 11 days to Xmas and the mood is high, the joyfull expectation for the "bambino" to come again and again to us. I cherrish your lovely photos and send you a magnificent hug, with all my love and admiration. And again: Life is beautiful.caterina t1

  • E' giusto, bellezza e magia si possono trovare ovunque, anche in un giardino di periferia, basta saper cogliere il momento opportuno e avere la capacità di pensare le immagini prima di imprimerle con la fotocamera. Il risultato è una serie di scatti mirabili per aver colto tutte le sfumature dei pochi colori lasciati a disposizione da una copiosa nevicata. Molto interessante l'esperimento con il bilanciamento del bianco. Grazie per aver rischiato il congelamento per offrire prima di tutto a te stesso, poi anche a tutti noi, la possibilità di vedere immortalate queste essenziali ma fantastiche immagini. CIAO! Luca.

  • porca vacca! passami l'espressione! io quella sera ero in ambasce, salendo in Valtellina, alle prese con catene ed accessori che si disfavano ad ogni tentativo di montaggio. Non è giusto! Cancella l'album e dammi una nuova possibilità di recuperare! ovviamente una scherzosa forzatura per non commentare -a priori- una ulteriormente indovinata interpretazione. E chi lo traduce adesso agli anglofoni? Un abbraccio. Pino A little translation ..... This is a joke, fortunately! And is really difficult to translate "porca vacca", that is, at least, the opposite of "holy cow"! Because, while my friend Ruggero was shooting some beautiful trees and snow over the nite, I was forced on my way to Valtellina mounting snow-chain and so on! I think is not correct: please Ruggero, cancel your album and offer me the opportunity to fight with you in another similar time! But is only a joke, only because I've no word to explaine my pleasure watchin' your photo's. Friendly, by Pino!

  • CIAO Ruggero! I really don't believe that all your stunning Alpine shots are rich in beautiful blue and green colours ... THEN in winter time, in this magical night time album, everything change to attractive blue and white colours, in such an incredible way! SIMPLE AND PERFECT! Again! I keep admiring ... your beautiful homeland! Thank you dear friend for your enjoyment to my seaside wonderland, where the spectacular scenery I certainly won't be enjoying as easy as you can! And truly, perhaps I won't have any chance to touch the beautiful white trees like yours! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to You! Warmest Greetings from CS!

  • caro Rug, anch'io ho sempre meno tempo per me, e lo avrai notato dalla frequenza con cui posto le mie nuove immagini! Intanto grazie per gli apprezzamenti: ho usato il polarizzatore (ho anche faticato a trovare le giuste impostazioni ma -credo- di esserci riuscito) e penso sia migliorato il livello di saturazione. Curiosità: lo scenario che hai ripreso è il parco di Cornaredo che costeggia la via Novara? Ci sono passato stamane ed ho avuto quella impressione. A presto. Pino

Che magnifiche immagini, che bella e dolce atmosfera, che delicato incanto ... il miglior album invernal-natalizio che abbia mai visto! Sei UNA FAVOLA!!!

  • CIAO my wonderfully talented friend! An absolute masterpiece. Who needs professional photographers when we have you in our midst? This is indeed an album to cherish and for me to view this, on a day when it has been about 33C, is better than any air conditioning (well, ALMOST!)An A1 ripper album. My best wishes to you and yours for the coming festive season and I sincerely hope that 2006 brings you everything you desire (maybe even that trip to Australia eh?? LOL) and that you enjoy good health and happiness. Above all, that you keep that shutter finger working hard!. All best wishes, Peter

  • Ciao, Ruggero! This is truly a magical album. There is a saying, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". This is absolutely true in this case. You have seen beauty everywhere in this park and have made it come alive. The winter is beautiful, so is every season. It all depends on how one perceives it. I want to take this time to wish your family and you a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2006! Keep well. Best wishes, Suresh

  • Hi Ruggero this album IS Magic and a wonderful composition out of trees snow and light. I love trees!!! # 003 is gorgeous with the wonderful blue light in the background. I like the different colors you got by choosing an other white balance. Fantastic! # 15 is such a beautiful tree!!! I think it is very difficult to get good pictures by night in a nearly black and white scenery. You managed to get extraordinary pictures! A very late thank you for looking at my beach album with a lonely locust guy. I see you had a lot of fun there, much more than I had when I discovered that locust guy on my jeans! - But I had a lot of fun when I got all those funny comments, like yours! :-) Ruggero I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year with lot of new pictures and features on your beautiful site! - Galit from Israel

  • I have said long ago that you are a MAGICIAN and today the whole world knows it!! :-) I know you'd be awfully busy when you return from your beloved Alps, but I hope the MANY guestbook entries from around the world will bring you plenty of joy, just like the joy you give to people. My best wishes for your new house, and I hope that after everything is fixed, you will have many WONDERFUL holidays there, make BEAUTIFUL hikes and take FABULOUS shots. But of course beauty and magic is EVERYWHERE, and here you've managed to do such a fantastic album in Milan... :-) TI ABBRACCIO Amico Mio! >:D< Orly

  • Congratulazioni Ruggero! Queste foto sono straordinarie, anche per le difficolta' tecniche insite nelle foto notturne. Hai realizzato un CAPOLAVORO e questo (stranamente...) e' stato riconosciuto da W/S. Prosegue la "serie" degli italiani... che in questo periodo "dominano" la vetrina internazionale ;-)) Un caro saluto al maestro. Elio

  • Ciao Rugero, I first must aplogise for not writing in this GB before now I knew though when I first saw it a few weeks ago it was only a matter of time before it was featured. It really was a magical evening and so well captured by you and your camera in your talented way that so many of us enjoy so much. Hope you and your family had a really good Christmas and now I wish you a Happy new year and many more chances for you to share your wonderful photos with us. Take care my friend Hugs Jill

All your albums should be featured, they're all stunning. Congratulations! Scusami se ti ho scritto in inglese ma voglio che il mondo intero sappia quello che sento. Complimenti vivissimi :) Carmela
