Roni - Just lovely and enjoyable. Some of the photos should appear in National Geographic Magazine. Thanks for sharing your experience and albums.

ARE THERE ANY MORE ALBUMS COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE ?

Amazing, magnificent, stunning ... <ran out of superlatives> ... esp the wide-angle silhouettes! All the wallpapers on my computers have, in recent weeks, been your photographs :-)
