I onece had a pair f huge white swahs almost bruch my head as they flew over. The noise of the beat of their wings and the wind left me totally awe struck. I felt toutched by an angel, yet the friend showing me her harbour had noticed not a thing. I still feel totally moved by the experience although it was almost 10 years ago.<BR/><BRArijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-42030463910255117882008-12-06T09:24:00.000+01:002008-12-06T09:24:00.000+01:00It's very fitting for you to post Vienna's beginni...It's very fitting for you to post Vienna's beginning of Christmas decorations as tomorrow is St. Nicholas Day.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-82238269814748500912008-12-06T07:53:00.000+01:002008-12-06T07:53:00.000+01:00Early, dark, cold morning here.
