    Thank you for these pictures that let me return to beautiful places in which I once stood, walked, read papers and sipped coffee.

  15. I have always thought of Sunday as a reading day. The time to leisurely read the entire newspaper, or lose yourself in a story. I suspect that if I had your scenery I might find it a bit more difficult to pay attention to my paper ;)
