Something very familiar from an unusual angle.

Until you're right underneath this thing, you don't realize just how immense it actually is.

1. Filigree and Light- and looking up to boot - Jackpot!

I can tell you are enjoying your new camera. This is very beautiful.
This would be a more than fine entry in the new contest.

2. Dear Mira, thanks for the encouragement.

I'm enjoying my camera a lot, though it is still rather new to me. It's very kind of you to consider my photo worthy of entering in the contest. This is sort of the first time that I happen to take a picture that would be appropriate. I'm somewhat reluctant to enter though, because, if in the unlikely event that I were to win, I'm afraid I would probably be unable to fulfill my duties as host for the next contest. I'm too chaotic, and my schedule would make it difficult for me to do so. :-D

.........................

We're doing an oratorio by Mr. Georg Friedrich Händel now, and it has some splendid music in it!



Hopefully I'll manage to take a few decent pictures during the course of this tour. We take off on Saturday.

Will keep you posted.
