Hi there Christian,
I would just like to congratulate you on the POM award. A spectacular view and well composed snapshot! I hope to see more.
Keep it up!
Cheers,
Farizan

obwohl ich ein großer Fan deiner Seeelefanten bin, finde ich auch die Brücke wunderbar. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum POM!!!
Viele Grüße - Petra

Your Empire State building picture has a magic quaity about it. I cannot imagine what the merit of untouched photos might be since the environment changes by the moment and never again will the view be the same no matter how drab the initial capture of the shutter transition.
You have given us an insight into detail and underlying colours which if we look with our minds eye we may see on a visit to this ground breaking project - an innovative trilumph at the time it was built.

Thanks for your comments on my Kirkjubøur report. I am sure you would like it there but I don't know how accessible it is from Germany - via Copenhagen I should think.
I can't pretend it would be a cheap holiday - we were so lucky not having to pay for accommodation.
I wonder whether the Smyril Line boat form Denmark with a car packed with food would be a possibility?
You have to try a slot canyon sometime! We're going back to Zion National Park in Sept to hike a canyon called The Narrows. You hike in the river and in some places the walls of the canyon are 1000 feet high and only 8 feet wide.
Loved your picture of the chair swing...reminds me a bit of Oktoberfest. We lived in the Allgaeu for a year and really loved it. Of course, the hiking was great and we miss it. Would love to come to the Rheinland someday, too. So many wonderful places to visit!

Christian,
I was setting up camp when I took that shot. I looked over and there it was. John is 14 and he was standing in absolute silence watching the changing colors. He didn't realize I even took the picture until later that night while we were reviewing the shots of the day.

Christian,
I deleted the posting because I decided I was being whiny. I never want to discourage any one from posting but I have suffered the frustration of having someone post hoards of pics more than once. Personally I find that limiting myself to a certain number forces me to edit and chose carefully what I do post.
I hope you enjoyed Mountain View - that is so close to San Jose! Next time give me a shout and we can enjoy dinner!
Big Sur has been hit hard by the fires, as have a number of other areas. I keep reminding myself that these are naturally occurring and a part of nature, but I love California's wilderness. As much as I enjoy other places, I still love to hike these mountains the most! Guess I am just a California girl.
Greeting back at you! It was nice to see you online today!
