It is fascinating because it shows to me a world full of mysticism, quite different from this one where I live. It's really, a place I would like to visit. Thanks for revealing it to me.

  • Marita, Duh! I don’t know how long I “reflected” on the crocodile to see if it had any bearing on me. I don’t have any pictures in my FAVORITE SECTION jet that is probably why. Please have a look in my Stellenbosch album. I have moved another picture of the St James beach to the top. I think it is better than the one in your FAVORITE SECTION. I frequently visit the same places. That probably make me a localtripper. Faul

I've had the most incredible 24 hours with the enjoyment of my featured album - Aussie Sunrises/sets - and your encouragement means a lot thank you! I've so enjoyed coming back to your albums and this time browsing through the Southwest Architecture. WOWWWWW - no wonder this was such a runaway success when it was featured. I felt drawn in to each of the shots in the most incredible way. You have an amazing eye. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this collection together and share it. Have a wonderful weekend (hugs) Lorraine, Australia

  • Dear Marita, the world is twisted in an interesting way... this is related to the jobs of our husbands. I'm glad we got to know each other, just a little, but it is still a lot in this big world. I love your doors and windows, somehow the blue or green looks especially charming on the clayhouse walls. Congratulations on so many downloads! I added you to my favorites as well, so we'll keep in touch. Irina

  • Hi Marita - yet another great album Congrats on the feature - very sorry I missed it at the time! I am more than pleased that I am on Faul's list and so had the opportunity of discovering your excellent photographic skills. Do you use the Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 version for your editing? Warm wishes from South Africa.

  • I know I missed it when it was featured. I was away in Colorado with my grandchildren. Now, I sit back and replay the slideshow over and over again and never get enough of it. There is something so earthy and harmonious in the architecture, soemthing so unique that sets it apart. As it invariably happens, when there is lack of colour around you, one tends to paint in bright colours. The colours against the earthern background are so contrasting and pleasing. You have so skillfully captured the essence of the place. I am enthralled by this album. Though belated, let me say that no album in the recent past deserved more to be featuerd than this one. Thanks for sharing such a gem. Best wishes, Suresh

Though I get around in southern New Mexico, I have yet to spend any time in the northern half of the state. Your photos let me know what I am missing. Thanks for your comments on my featured album yesterday. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Charlotte in TX/NM

Zum Ausgleich ein Gedicht fuer die Weihnachtszeit. Machs gut und bis wieder mal, Christine. Und hier das Gedicht es ist halb Englisch und halb Deutsch. Vielleicht kennst Du es ja schon.
