Hello Marita! When I need to look at some excellent photography to get me inspired again, I turn to this album. This is one of the best there is in WS. The earthy colours with splashes of bright yellows, oranges and azure blue skies is enough to kick start me. What a gem you have here! I always see this album in full awe! Mit besten Gruessen! Suresh

Marita, thanks for your very kind greetings on my POTD! It was a big surprise for me to get some comments from members even before I got the message from WS... I hope you have a wonderful time with your parents and I really hope to see new albums soon! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Yair. PS: I enjoyed looking at the first comment in this album...

Hi Marita. This album has been a joy to view because I am now familiar with so many of your captures. We have already visited downtown Albuquerque, Taos, Acoma and today we took a hot air balloon ride wich was AMAZING. I sure am loving it here. Happy Easter. Luv Jayne/New Mexico xx

Hi Marita, Beautiful album of the southwest and their homes. I loved being able to spend time out there when our daughter & family lived in Tucson, Arizona. I certainly can see why this would be a feature album. Wonderful photgraphy & wonderful stories behind them. Thank you for sharing them and thank you as well for all the time and preparation that went into this album. Best wishes, Ray

Marita, I'm so embarrassed at missing this album when it was featured. Perhaps it's when I was away on vacation. Anyway, I'm glad I saw it now, and Congrats on this Feature! It's so very well done and so well photographed. You did a great job. Hugs, Sharon

Hello Marita, well this album is quite different from my Valencia, where you left your nice comment, thanks so much. Shall we trade? I go to Taos and NM and you go to Valencia? LOL Thanks for sharing these wonderful and warm South-West colours, makes me "homesick" and makes me want to take the first plane to AZ or NM and spend a few weeks driving around... Thanks again and best regards from Geneva. Barbara

Hi Marita, my owls asked me to thank you for visiting them and for your kind comments. At last you know my secret! Regarding the slideshow - you should not take it so personally, it's not because of a not-so-wise-friend but because of not-so-talented-engineers ... Enjoy a wonderful week! Yair.

Hallo Marita, ich danke Dir fuer Deinen Eintrag in meinem Gaestebuch Limburg an der Lahn. Es tut mir leid, wenn ich Dir mit den Fotos Heimweh bereitet habe :0( . 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. When the snow falls… When the snow falls wunderbar, And the children happy are, when the Glatteis on the street, and we all a Gluehwein need, then you know, es ist soweit: she is here, the Weihnachtszeit Every Parkhaus ist besetzt, weil die people fahren jetzt All to Kaufhof, Mediamarkt, kriegen nearly Herzinfarkt shopping hirnverbrannte things and the Christmasglocke rings merry Christmas, merry Christmas, hear the music, see the lights frohe Weihnacht, frohe Weihnacht merry Christmas allerseits mother in the kitchen bakes Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks Daddy in the Nebenraum schmückt a Riesen-Weihnachtsbaum he is hanging auf the balls, then he from the Leiter falls... finally the Kinderlein to the Zimmer kommen rein and es sings the family schauerlich: "Oh, Christmastree!" and the jeder in the house is packing die Geschenke aus Merry christmas, merry christmas hear the music, see the lights, frohe Weihnacht, frohe Weihnacht, Merry christmas allerseits.... Mama finds under the Tanne eine brandnew Teflon-Pfanne Papa gets a Schlips and Socken, Everybody does frohlocken President speaks in TV All around is harmonie. bis mother in the kitchen runs: Im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans. And so comes die Feuerwehr with tatü-tata daher and they bring a long, long Schlauch and a long, long Leiter auch and they schrei: "Wasser marsch!" Christmas is now im A.... Eimer. Merry Christmas, merry Christmas hear the music, see the lights, frohe Weihnacht, frohe Weihnacht Merry Christmas allerseits.

Hey girlfriend - A very belated congratulations on this album being featured - I missed it while taking care of my dying dad.

Thanks for the congrats on My Favorites today....can you believe it? Merry Christmas and a PEACEful New Year. Loree

Ah, Marita... I am envious of your Taos visit! What beautiful shots you have here to share. 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

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

suresh_krishna 2006.03.19 at 21:14:33 PST
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.

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

Good morning Marita and welcome into another beautiful day. I tucked my warmest thanks into a corner of the day before sending it on to you. 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

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

Hi Marita. Thanks for your reply. Being featured is a great and unique experience.

What an interesting and beautiful album. I have been so many times to New Mexico but never to those areas. There is so much beauty and harmony within these adobe houses. I like your photo "step by step" a lot. Congratulations! and warm wishes from Geneva. Barbara

I'm from Santa Fe and this is my way of seeing the Land of Enchantment even from my computer since I haven't lived there in years but my entire house is full of Southwestern art, paintings and Navajo rugs. Thanks so much for letting me go back in my memories.. Peggy Stark Beaverton, Oregon

Hi Marita. This is something completely new for me. I spend my life seeing Odissey Channel, I had never seen nothing similar. 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. Best wishes, Rosa
