Thanks, Dad.

There are certain quirks at VT. It lists only major towns. I plan my trips around small towns, that few people know of. Ergo, you will find Krimmlphalz, the highest waterfall in Europe, under Feldkirsche, Hallstatt under Salzburg and my favorite village in Germany, under Munich.
Feldkirsche also contains a travelogue as does San Francisco, where I live.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night So do the ripples in the mind...
And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone
You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. "With God on Our Side" Bob Dylan, 1963 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"If you can walk with kings, and not lose the common touch, you will be a man, my son" The Savage Nation
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields."
John McCrae's "In Flanders Field" Flanders Field is a burial ground for Americans who died in WW I http://www.inflandersfields.be/english/eng-index.html
HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY, AMERICA |

Dester Fri Apr 25, 2008 23:56 UTC I agree, the places best viewed don't have the back of someone's head in the way. | grishaV1 Sat Mar 22, 2008 17:31 UTC Thought I'd stop by to give greetings, and hoping things are well for you and yours. Grisha and Zen | nomad7890 Mon Mar 3, 2008 03:58 UTC Is your photo under the "brief explanation" heading from around Fresno? Nice - as well as the bridge in the fog. | Ekaterinburg Fri Feb 29, 2008 17:51 UTC Like the albums. I sense a poet and a philosopher lurking.Beautiful photos :)) |
