Mirella said at 10:55 a.m. on May 13, 2008: Joaquin! I have no other words to say how beautiful are your photos. But I must find them. Beginning with the onions, the animals (wild horses are...........!!!!), the litghouses, the little photo with a woman, a child, and another person seen from the high, people in b/w (dramatic), and the sea.( especially the first one.........), the wall with the wild plants.... Certainly the sites are wonderful, but you have the eye to catch the best. Yes, I'm deeply moved. Ciao
Joaqy said at 11:03 a.m. on May 13, 2008: Kind words MIRELLA. Am thrilled that you were moved by the images. Grazie. : )
Mariusblack said at 11:21 a.m. on May 13, 2008: shet, joaquin! ang lupet! and i said the P.I. words out loud after viewing the entire tabblo. if there's an honor higher than TOD, this one surely deserves that. waaaah! P.I! ang galeng!!! =)
Joaqy said at 11:25 a.m. on May 13, 2008: Hoy, bawal magmura dito. Di pa naman na-edit ang comments. Hehe OA ka ha? Pero salamat. : )
