Judy,
I saw a program on the Travel Channel where someone who lived in Mexico had one of those on his property. He used it as a natural swimming pool. The water stayed at a warm temperature (in the 70sF) year round. It was beautiful.

Hi Corno. the picture you posted tells a lot of stories for me. Makes me think of how it feels to live in front of a church. and when you loog around, almost everything is green! People there live in a flat land at the foot of a mountain range, but do you thinks they climb up the mountains when they're bored? Or when they need a magical fruit to heal a disease? Or probably pay tribute to some gods. I can only come up with a thousand questions here. But as per the photo, it's really beautiful. Calm, yet unusual.

Unfortunately, I can't get the second and third photos to expand into wallpapers. That always frosts me when a picture remains postage stamp size. Why do people post such things?

That first picture, judging from the roofs, must be someplace where it snows. WHERE is it?

Not too long ago, I read someplace that some landowners in Arizona suddenly discovered that their place had a vast cave underneath. I guess they are still in the process of exploring to see what all is there.

Yes, eye catchimg.

I found this arresting picture elsewhere some time ago, and couldn't refrain from saving it, despite the feeling it had been manipulated at least a little - as so many photographs and even videos are today.

But no matter.

I know the territory where it was taken so appreciate its historic and photogenic merit, augmented for me by otherwise limited exposure to like treasures. The preservation of such a heritage photographically adds significzntly - considering how Canada and indeed much of the globe is being despoiled by "progressive" developers ploughing under remnants of past glories and Nature's beauties for short term economc gain.

Who would have the audacity and bad taste to build a high-rise condo overlooking such a view? It could happen here, where our lakeshores are being denuded of their natural beauty and lined progressively by ugly monster homes or condos. But then, I suppose the people who buy such properties wouldn't appreciate such an outlook - a saving grace, perhaps.

Do I sound too sour?

I tried to comment on the Goytland picture but my reply turned up as a response to the Mexican one!

I'm looking at this photo wondering if it's real. Before computers my graphics experience made it easy to pick apart art, and now another viewer is seeing a face in the mountain. That's convincing me. The power lines, visible as almost photographic to the left, become vague gray shapes on the right, and I see the golden glowing light at the back of the roof of the church and the similar highlight in the mountains almost above it as an artist technique, or glitch that stayed in.
Master Photographer Thies Bognar, just down the street, has a son who is an award winning photographer, living in the Rockies. I'll guess at the .ca or .com of his domain.
www.kristianbognar.ca
His "photos" have such a strong air of unreality about them, but remain photographic, much like this picture.
His domain also has a function with photos for viewing I've never seen before, not that I'm surfing the internet any more.

All this because I've got a couple new photos I'm happy with, bike-hiking with this little hand-held Canon I got last summer, my first camera. One trip I took 154 photos, and only kept five.

Who cares? Time to post some.
as always, John Watt

Since John Watt likes to show his special guitar. Here's a picture
of one I wished I had. Problem is I don't have the $3,000 they are
asking for. I guess I will stick with my Fender Natural flat top one.

I wished! This building isn't built yet. But I call it the church's
and courthouse we have now's baby. It's going to be a new
courthouse that looks like the old church. The guys are working
hard to get this one done. The skeleton frame is up and I
guess the rest is in the future. I just wonder what it will look
inside by next year when it's done.

That's not Jesus of Nazareth.
They tried to get him, but their host, with his host, hosting others, who have their host,
couldn't get their host to host up with His Host, who, with their host,
called up Ho-Ho Host, getting him to sub again.
He doesn't like this gig, preferring to keep his hair white for doing Santa.
