It's like this is what I was made for: do the traveling and then show-and-tell all about it! Thank you for your loving support throughout. If we can ever find someone to use my images, that will be the cherry on top! :)<br /><br /><b>Ola:</b> I know...not in the States, either, but here in The Netherlands, YES. It's a lucky break for us!<br /><br /><b>Deborah:</b> When we were in France last July, we saw at the most maybe 3 different kinds of water towers. Nothing like in The Netherlands! We did notice that. <br /><br />I guess all cultures show something of their wealth in what they wear, but these costumes definitely take the cake. <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to read and comment...midst all your busyness. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Ted:</b> Too bad we won't be anywhere close to Connecticut. It would be so much fun to see you and Jane again. Maybe one day! And yes, we'll get on track again with the right e-mails....<br /><br /><b>ET:</b> Don't you love it when we see something and it reminds us of another blogger! :) You know me...I love the windmills, too. I never tire of them.<br /><br /><b>Ted:</b> I have seen the Becher mills, yes: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1980.1074.a-p. One day I want to make a big collage of all the ones I have. I like the idea of making them all in B&W, so I'll work on that. The Becher collection is astounding. A real inspiration.

Your photos have really reached new levels of perfection, and the composite arrangements are a delight. Among my favorites are refinishing the table composite, the composite of the Middle-Eastern boys (or are those Astrid's pictures?). The two windmill shots against gray sky have a wonderful stark beauty, but this series of church photos are superb.<br /><br />Do you know the Becher water tower photos?Emery Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764300703571229622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-78266529754466576982010-10-12T01:22:42.574+02:002010-10-12T01:22:42.574+02:00When I saw a church during our travels, I immediat...When I saw a church during our travels, I immediate thought of you! And yup, see what happens. :)<br /><br />I must admit the windmills captivate my interest the most though!<br /><br />And you are going to the US! I do hope you enjoy every minute of it. And Autumn break is sure long.

In any case, it was terrific to hear from you. Enjoy your trip back to the tates, and be sure to let us know if you will be anywhere near Connecticut. We can't show you windmills, but we can show you land above sea level.Emery Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764300703571229622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-32665365402121982952010-10-11T11:56:52.730+02:002010-10-11T11:56:52.730+02:00Ginnie,

It's whimsical, what the Dutch do with such utilitarian structures. Design, art, aesthetics in general are obviously a significant part of their culture. Very interesting! <br /><br />Also interesting is the reference to the gold and coral jewellry and how this reflects the family's wealth. This is such a foreign concept to me, but I was talking recently to a Scottish woman who married a Moroccan and she enlightened me as to why gold jewellry is so important to Moroccan women (and those of many other cultures too). I had never thought of these glittering displays in terms of financial security/personal worth. But then, even Western women do that, although perhaps not as consciously. Why else would anybody want a diamond ring???<br /><br />As for those two churches - one suspects a certain competitiveness there, hmm?? <br /><br />I'm rambling, sorry! I also left an equally wordy comment on the last post. :) <br />Have a great time in Atlanta and enjoy being with your family!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-23925022365638252912010-10-11T11:37:17.264+02:002010-10-11T11:37:17.264+02:00I didn't realise that such a think as fall hol...I didn't realise that such a think as fall holidays exist;) have a great trip!

NO rain, that is.<br />I know I keep repeating myself (that is the age I think), you did a great job again, my wish for you; maybe one day some company will use this blog or at least your pictures to show the beauty of our country.<br />I am looking forward to our trip to the Atlanta, counting the days :)Astridhttp://www.picturit.shutterchance.com/noreply@blogger.com
