Is the mound lit up like this right now? How gorgeous that is! I wish I could see that in reality

Wow! That looks so cool!

There is always something magical when snow scenes are photographed. This is great ! Are you doing calenders?

Is that the grass market?

That’s a great picture. It reminds me of our snowfall here in Minnesota USA. I can almost hear it falling.

“There are two forms of friendship: meeting and separation. They are indissoluble. Both of them contain some good, and this good of friendship is unique, for when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation. As both forms contain the same good thing, they are both equally good.”

Beautiful! Does the staircase lead to Indian Street?

Amazing picture - looks familiar but I’m not quite sure where this one is!

Such amazing photography with great perspective

A beauty of the steps that often feel hidden

This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart's blood stop
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?"

Don't know why. But the figure is giving me Yul Brynner vibes.

It's a western stand off !

You have such a gift! You never "just" photograph a nighttime scene, you also get your camera to capture soooo much atmosphere! And then you find the perfect quote to put with them. Thank you.

I am reading a novel where the main character is reading her first 'grown up' book & it is The Count of Monte Cristo ...

Fantastic photo really shows the character of the place.
