Adela Fonts from Barcelona, Spain

Tagore's delightful phrase ... One issue to think carefully and maybe with some cheerful resignation! moments live with joy, to live every moment intensely, as if it were your last. The spirit is pleased with these good times ... I wish for you dear friend. I agree with the phrase you've chosen for us and thank you. A hug friend. Adela

SOUL AFLAME from The bosom of Mother Nature, Canada &, United Kingdom

I always think life is plenty long enough to savour and enjoy as if each and every last day were our last on this magnificent planet, and to be kind and thoughtful to all others, to show respect and love and to leave our mark. Often, I have found that those around me who say 'Life is too short' are the very ones who have done nothing with their lives except look back and say 'I could have, I should have'..... We all could and should have, and those who did, and do, are the most enriched of heart and soul, and the most content.

An amazing frame Pavan, with the most wondrous and spectacular skyscape so beautifully captured with real detail and intensity of hue. This frame in my opinion also proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is not the lens or fancy model of camera but the eye behind it that sees, and the skills of the photographer that truly make a frame. Wonderful my friend.

22 Dec 2010 2:20pm

@SOUL AFLAME: Thank you dear Paul, for your words that are not only kind but also most encouraging:)
