  6. Thank you, Colores! :-)

    Studio Judith,
    I was finally on my way to the auto route, when I spotted those young trees against that wall. And then the remembrance of the table cloth and cup, shot earlier in a small restaurant beside a river cutting through the flat landscape, carrying the same colours, I had to stop, yet again! It took me about six hours - exquisite lunch and 2 coffee stops included - to get out of those hamlets.

    that is a truly wonderful compliment, merci!
    May you find many of those still life and, I hope, capture them too! ;-)

  8. Vicki Lane,
    simply gorgeous.
    Add to that that sense of history in the air,
    made me want to stay on and on.
    I shall return! I'll have to!

    there are times when words only spoil the meditative mood, isn't it?
