Thank you!

I was fortunate to have a personal tour of Pablo’s studio years ago. He is so passionate about his work and the culture of peru. I still have many of his ceramics. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks a lot. Have a great day.

Thank you, Tony. Have a great day.

Ahhh, the Great River Road. I know this area well, though it’s been 24 years since I lived in Southern Illinois.Your photo is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much. Have a great day.

This photo shows an old olive tree within an old grove. Grass grows among the trees. Another old olive is in the background.

So true. 🙂

Very nice! This photo caught my attention showing simplicity and stillness, but yet, with some sense of motion with the drop off melted ice caught in mid-air from the top plant head. I also like the 1:1 format you chose. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! You should enter this image into some photo contests.

I love this image. It has so much happening with good composition and visual interest. What I like most is the interaction of the bicycle with the reflection and the shadow of the bicycle in the water. It would be interesting to see this converted to black and white.

I love the image and, yes, love the Jag too. Thanks for sharing.

You have a lot of good stuff going on. I’m especially enjoying your black and white work. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful.

The scene is within a valley showing a farm with barn and windmill on the left and a large oak tree on the right. Behind the farm are hills which are used for cattle grazing. The sky is clear.
