Hello!!!!
How are you?
Thanks for signing my guestbook!!!
I'm very sorry for my late reply. I haven't visited this site for a long time!!
Moscow is doing great!!!Many things have changed since 1996. The center looks like some European city.
But it's a little bit crazy city now.

When I returned home at 4:00 in the morning (this kind of competitive examination is staged at night in French Polynesia because the tests are the same as in Metropolitan France; so this way, we sit for the tests at the same time as the candidates in mainland France), I rushed to my dictionary: PEAT BOG !!!! Alas! It had come out of my mind. Hope you will love this "Irish inspired adventure".
Cheers
Bertrand

I thank you Hugh. I am glad you enjoy this picture. Girl n° 3 from the left is one of my former pupils. (9 years back).
As I can see from your profile, you're Irish. Ireland is a very nice country I would love to visit, but something I never did so far. As a Brittany lover, this is the kind of countries I like very much among others. In 2001, we visited round Scotland and we have fantastic memories of that journey. Three days ago, in the course of a competitive examination to the supreme teaching level of French education system, I was sitting for the translation test (6 hours translating a literature excerpt of "Twilight in Italy" by D.H. Lawrence (1916) into French and an extract of a French novel "Un taxi mauve" by Michel Déon whose setting is Ireland. And suddenly my mind went blank. I could not remember the phrase to translate "champs de tourbe", something that I had came across many times during our stay in Scotland...... (story to be continued)

Greetings from Kerala, India

Hi,
My heartfelt thanks for your comments on my kerala fotos. I greatly appreciate your gesture of encouragement. The one think I regret very much is not visiting Ireland (which is very beautiful too I am told) at all. I was in Oxford for almost 25 years before moving back to Kerala where I was born and brought up. I travelled extensively in the UK and europe missing out the wonderful Ireland completely. Its definitelyat the top of my list when I return to the UK. Take care and stay in touch.
Warm regards,
Kris Sreekandath

Hi Hugh
It's really very interesting to see the difference. When you look at the first picture in my maun report, you know why they are called upside down tree, wheras when in leaff you don't see the meaning...

Thanks for your comment on my Antwerp report.
It was the musical museum in Trondheim -or more precisely an exhibition in the old barn that got me looking out for this type of museum.
Cheers, David

Thank you for you kind congrat wish.
Yes, I agree that photography is mostly about how the photographer sees the world through a view finder. Having the 'eye' is a must. And you surely have it!! I love your pictures. Ireland is a fairytale from your photographs. I'm anxious to experience it first hand. :-)
I always loved Irish lore.
Travel safely

Plymouth

Hi Hugh
It's a while since I lived in Plymouth now - 43 years if you don't count university and national service - 48 if you do!
My last relations in the area are now dead and my cousins and descendants are scattered through the UK.
I was last there about 16 years ago so I'm afraid I don't know the places you mention.
My mother and I lived in Shropshire during the war with her aunt but I well remember raids from our odd visit to my grandparents in Plymouth. It was particularly exciting for a small boy to be allowed to go to bed in socks so that getting up was quicker - then being woken to go with the adults into the shelter in the garden.
My uncle, who was not well enough for the forces, was an air raid warden and he often dropped in with news of the latest horrors.
Thanks for the message.
Cheers, David
