Hello Don ... Thanks for stopping by I Was ... Were You?. Appreciate your "welcome back" ... I surely missed posting at Caedes and it felt good receiving comments from old friends ... Thanks again.

Thanks for commenting on China Mist,Taken with a small compact so i couldn't get the clarity as i would have wanted..Richie.

Hi Don, thankyou so much for commenting on Crashing Splash. We dont get hurricanes over here as we dont have the warm waters but we do get hurricane strength winds and the day after i shot this photo was one of the worst i have ever seen. We heard on the news in the evening the a 5 yr old girl was swept away by a swollen river less than a couple of miles away from where i was standing. I cant imagine how people must cope with proper hurricanes!

Thank you so much Don for your comment on "Dirt road curve". I really appreciate it!
Christer

Thank you very much Don for the nice words on "For Sandi".

Many thanks Don for your kind comment on "Angelo"! It is my wife's favorite site in Rome, too! There's something about the place that attracts you: the smell, the shape, the steep circular walkway to top...It is a lovely place indeed!

Hi Don, thankyou for your lovely comment on Eden.

Thank you Don for leaving a kind comment on "Castle of Tredion",it is much appreciated.You have noticed a monitor in a window,you have a good eye.

It's Lucerne Don! I quote the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of Mark Twain's "A Tramp Abroad" , Chapter 26, down below (link: http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/marktwain/ATrampAbroad/chap26.html) :

The commerce of Lucerne consists mainly in gimcrackery of the souvenir sort; the shops are packed with Alpine crystals, photographs of scenery, and wooden and ivory carvings. I will not conceal the fact that miniature figures of the Lion of Lucerne are to be had in them. Millions of them. But they are libels upon him, every one of them. There is a subtle something about the majestic pathos of the original which the copyist cannot get. Even the sun fails to get it; both the photographer and the carver give you a dying lion, and that is all. The shape is right, the attitude is right, the proportions are right, but that indescribable something which makes the Lion of Lucerne the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world, is wanting.

The Lion lies in his lair in the perpendicular face of a low cliff--for he is carved from the living rock of the cliff. His size is colossal, his attitude is noble. How head is bowed, the broken spear is sticking in his shoulder, his protecting paw rests upon the lilies of France. Vines hang down the cliff and wave in the wind, and a clear stream trickles from above and empties into a pond at the base, and in the smooth surface of the pond the lion is mirrored, among the water-lilies.

And, again, many thanks for your kind comment on "Casino 4"!

Thank you so much Don for the great words on "The Creek".I really appreciate it.
Christer

Yes that mad Ludwig had a good taste and view where to put a castle or 2 or 3 indeed. What i specialy like is that he did this at the edge of the Alps. looking in 1 direction, all you see is mountains, and to another direction, all flat :-) Great work.
