Hey, judging by the profile, I'd say that this is my best friend, Swith, that I met when I lived in Colorado. Have you decided if you're going to come here and go to college with me, or are you going to take up that guy on the National Geographic job. I didn't know that you were a member of the Caedes, cool!
Hey, Koya! I'm still deciding. Sorry, I really want that National Geographic job, but I don't know if I want to accept that scholarship to BYU either. I'll let you know when I decide.
Hi Swith, thanks for the nice comment on (Walk This Way). I post lots of the greens, drawn to beautiful trees it seems. You might like (An Afternoon Stroll) because it's a similar sort of picture. I'll have some new greens tomorrow as well :). Thanks again!
My "old gate" photo was taken at colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. I always go to touristy places in the middle of the week and early in the morning. It keeps pictures from being crowded with other tourists. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks, Swith -- glad you enjoyed 'Old South (Atlanta)'. Appreciate your comments. Be sure to check out Yenom's gallery for some great Colorado photos.
Thanks Swith for your kindly words on «Waterproof...»
This pic was taken on the other side of USA, in Portugal, properly at Esmoriz, near Espinho / Oporto.
Thanks again.

Hi Swith, thank you very much for the comments on (Biven's Arm) and (An Afternoon Stroll). To answer your question, both of those pictures were taken in Gainesville, FL (I am a student at UF). There are definitely some beautiful places here but I'm sure Colorado has many more. I'm glad you've enjoyed some of my photography. It's really a recent interest and I enjoy sharing it more than anything else. Thanks again~
Thank you for your comment on "Blue philotes". You are lucky to have met Orson Scott Card. I love his books.
Also thanks for the comments on "Nexus" and "Turbulent Storm of Gasses". I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I'm glad you like them.
Hi! Yes, "Lime" hasn't done as well as the others in the series, but to each his (or her) own. I'm very happy you enjoyed it though, and I appreciate you saying so, Swith. :-)
Thanks for your comment on Caedes Icons. As best I can tell, there are 400 distinct icons. Since I copied and reflected the right side, there are about 800 total icons...I think. : )
Thanks for your kind words on Experiment #(many,many)...very much appreciated and better late than never. :D Another thanks for putting it in your Favorites!
Thanks for your comment on "Blue Waters". WA does have some of the most beautiful coastline in the country, mainly due to the fact that it has a much lower population than most of the other states, so the beaches have remained unspoilt.
Agradezco tus comentarios en "El Pinar" "La Estanca" y "Alcala de Moncayo"
I am grateful for your commentary in "The Pinegrove"
"La Estanca" And "Alcala de Moncayo"
Thank you for all the kind comments on my work. They are really appreciated! It allways makes me glad when someone likes my stuff. :) "Third Triad", "Over the Hill" "Towards the Sea" and "Silver Cave" were all shot last summer in a nature reserve, south in Sweden. To be more excact the reserve is called "Klippan" (translates into "Rock") and is in the north west of "Skåne", the most southern county of Sweden.
I live in a city called Lund and "A Walk in the Park" is shot there. I have a little trouble pinpointing the location of the shooting for "Yellow Fields". I took a ride in my car around Skånes inland with my wife and kid and stopped at some random spots where I thought it looked nice. :) But it's somewhere in the western parts of Skåne... A large part of this county is cultivated and many farmers have this crop so it is as beautiful as this in many parts of southern Sweden during early summer. ^_^ I took "Graced by Light" my way home that day btw. ^_^
Thanks for checking out (Blissful). It was taken on a small farm in a small town in the middle of nowhere called Archer, Florida :). It was very beautiful out there and far from any city lights so I was able to get some good nighttime shots that I posted recently as well.
Hello Swith. Thanks for your nice comment on Morning Has Broken. I appreciate it very much. For your infos, Putrajaya is in Malaysia. It is an Administrative Centre of the Federal Government of Malaysia. About 40% of Putrajaya is a natural, lush greenery and botanical gardens are spread across the landscape enhanced by large bodies of water and wetlands. I'll upload some of the images soon. Feel free to visit my gallery. :)
Hello Swith, and thank you for the compliment on "Ils ne passerons pas." The shot was taken about 40km north of Carcassonne, a French city just north of the Pyrenees. I spent almost a month there last year shooting photos of the castles in the region. Many ruined castles crown the mountains of the Languedoc, since the wars in the area lasted so long, but to reach most of them you have to walk up exposed footpaths that twist steeply up the sides of the mountains. Bring water and good shoes.
Thank you Swith...I agree it would be nice to see names of places in the description;-) Happy you had a look at "Nanaimo". It is on Vancouver Island on the coast of British Columbia. Not all that far from you really:-)

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Thanks for the great feedback on (Lakeside Splendor), Swith. The name of this lake is Biven's Arm, in Gainesville Florida. I have posted two other pictures from this lake taken on another evening, namely (Biven's Arm) and (Magic Mirror). You may have already seen those images posted earlier. Glad you liked this one!

Thank you Swith for the comments on "Hidden Valley" and "AAAAAAAARRRGH!!!!" Much appreciated. The valley is 45 minutes and a world away from my front door. People are just way to busy to visit so I can get a welcome dose of solitude whenever I want it.
I would like to sincerely thank you for your encouraging words and pleasant remarks. I hope you enjoyed checking out my photos as much as I enjoyed checking your photos. Cheers.

Thank you for the comment and vote on (Summer Shade), Swith. The photo was taken in the backyard of the home where my father grew up in Roxbury, CT. I stayed with my grandparents there for my week of vacation this summer. I generally visit once a year, but they also have a home here in Florida so I get to see them more often. I'm glad the photo is one of your favorites. It is a very peaceful place to relax :)
It's the St-Nicholas church. It was finished in 1735. The writer Franz Kafka was born in a house that stood close to this church.

Hi Swith, tks for your comments on High Falls. Not too sure, actually I would need to inquire about that. It is a scenic outlook that is behind a fence, and to tell you the truth, I am not sure I even looked down, lol.

Hello again Swith. I'm really glad you Liked "Old Barn". To answer your question: It is located on Hwy.97 North of Ellensburg and South of Peshastin Washington.
Hiya, thanks for the kind comments about Snap and Sunset in south Ken.. Glad you liked 'em. Snap was taken off the edge of a cliff in the Lake District, which is up north in England. Sunset was in southwest London, near my university. Thanks again :) You thinkin of putting up some pics any time?
Hi Swith. Glad you liked my Tranquility shot. The spot is in Audubon Park in New Orleans. I attended Loyola University across St. Charles Avenue from Audubon Park during the 80's, and this was one of my and my friends' favorite hang-out spots in the wee hours.
Interestingly enough the Gingerbread House shot was done on the same morning (Great light at that time of day) in the same park.
