Hi Paolo,
Thank you for three years of beautiful images and thoughts.
Striking, beautiful, and unusual palette of colors .. with the blue combined with the sunset tones .. love the feel of the motion of clouds over the timeless stone (one of my favorite landscape themes to see).
just read your intro ..congrats on the new wee one .. hope you are getting some sleep.
take care,
John

Hi Paolo,
I did not think that number 3 would have learned to me as many things. Splendid sunset, the colors are superb. The passage of the steamer to broad is the small bonus on the photograph. Pretty romantic moment. And I wish you, lately, a good birthday on TE.
With all my friendships and a very good WE,
Jean-Charles
