| 20th July 2009 anonymous | - From: Temple of Earth and Niujie Mosque "I only noticed this sign when the deed was done! The first character means "temple" and the second "woman"... (If Chinese is consistent with Japanese Kanji)" ***************************************************************************************** In fact,the frist word is the last one,and as you know,it means "temple". the right two words means "Muslim" and the third means"woman",you are right. from right to left"Muslim woman temple". 寺 女 真 清 temple woman Muslim |
| 29th May 2009 Omega | Buenos Aires - From: Recoleta, Bellas Artes and Japanese Gardens Dawn, You won't be disappointed! Buenos Aires is a magical place with much to see and a real bargain for international travelers... I am looking forward to returning there for another visit. |
| 28th May 2009 Dawn Smallwood | Buenos Aires - From: Recoleta, Bellas Artes and Japanese Gardens Hello, I enjoyed reading your blog on BA. I'm going there in January and look forward to seeing some of sights on my trip, Best wishes, Dawn |
| 13th May 2009 Omega | Surfs Up! (In the desert??) - From: Death Valley - Valle de la Muerte When the wind picks up, the flow of sand must get more "fluid"... I was there during a relatively calm day, so I did not get to see it. BTW, both surfers and snow boarders practice their sports down large sand dunes in the Sahara and the experience appears to have a similar "look and feel".... |
| 13th May 2009 Joaquin | Surfs Up! (In the desert??) - From: Death Valley - Valle de la Muerte Thanks for thinking of me with the "surfing plants". Was the sand flowing past them? And I also get the sense of peace from actual surfing that you get from your trips to the desert. |
| 12th May 2009 Andre | great! - From: Death Valley - Valle de la Muerte Hi Luis, Great pictures, beautifull light, an other world! I look forward to see this during our summer holiday. Thanks, Andre |

| 23rd April 2009 Yasu | Just something - From: Around the World in 80… uhmm… Minutes?? As formar Producer for Natural History Program , I can say, even in here Vegas, you can find amazing wild life. A bird, just around Luxsor this morning, they singed just like a signal of mobile phone call. Pi Pi Pi, PI, Pi, Pi, PI-PI-Pi. I was loooked for my mobile phone. |
| 24th March 2009 Omega | Loved your pilgrim photos - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James Begonia, My primary camera is a Canon EOS-1, but when I do walking treks I use a Canon G9, which is much more compact and easy to carry. I still need to do the Way of Saint James the way that you plan to do it. This time, I arrived into Santiago the easy way... :-( You will need a travel guide book; a sleeping mat may be optional if you opt to sleep at the "peregrino" lodges along the way. If you just do the segment between the French border and Santiago, you won't have any problems finding places to sleep. |
| 24th March 2009 BegoniaD | Loved your pilgrim photos - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James I just hope my time over May through to July will be as photogenic. What make camera do you use. One with a supper zoom from Santigos shot I bet?. How long did you spend walking and did you carry much gear? I am specially intereted as to whether you took a sleeping mat and travel guide book?? I have just started my blog and hope to write a bit before I go, then continue once I start my camino from about the 20th May 09. Regards Begonia |

| 13th March 2009 TinNiE | - From: Primordial Reflections You have beautiful photos! |
| 13th March 2009 Joaquin | Primordial Brilliance - From: Primordial Reflections Wow, those are really some gorgeous shots. For a second I thought it was Kiawah. And nice description of the bird's "trap".... |
| 6th March 2009 Omega | great pics - From: Living the New Among the Familiar Danny y Lore, Gracias por el comentario... ¡No muy a menudo los recibo en español! Voy a contestar el correo electrónico con un poco más de detalle, pero realmente no hay ningún secreto aparte de dedicación y mucha paciencia... En esta vacación, me dediqué a capturar amaneceres y atardeceres (y no todos los dias fueron ideales).... |
| 6th March 2009 Danny and Lore | great pics - From: Living the New Among the Familiar Luis... que buenas fotos de atardeceres. Te mande otro email preguntandote como las tomaste, a ver si aprendo un poquito mas. |
| 25th February 2009 Omega | Wow, great shots! - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James Thank YOU liliram! I hope that you do visit Spain a third time and find the time to visit the Galicia region... It is incredibly beautiful and the people are so friendly and hospitable... I will be back one of these days too. |
| 24th February 2009 liliram | Wow, great shots! - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James Thanks for the blog. I have long planned to visit Santiago de Compostela, but missed it the 2 times I visited Spain. Perhaps on my 3rd visit. Keep it coming. It has been awhile since your last blog. |
| 14th November 2008 Sergio | Santiagode Compostela - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James Gorgeous, Dad! Love the textures and the colors! Oh and your portrait of Joaquin...can't say enough about it. |
| 13th November 2008 Rakel | Santiago de Compostela! - From: Santiago de Compostela and the Way of Saint James Hi!! I´m Rakel from Spain! I saw your pictures of Galicia, they are so beautiful. I´m glad that you spent such a good time in my country. Many kissess |
| 23rd October 2008 Clint Holmes | Panoramania - From: Honduras… a Wedding, a Reunion, and a Mayan Adventure Awsome! Thanks for the tip, feliz viaje! |
| 22nd October 2008 Omega | Banners - From: Honduras… a Wedding, a Reunion, and a Mayan Adventure Clint, When you add a blog entry on Travelblog.org and you add photos via the "Blog Entry Photo Management" screen, on the left of the pop-up, there is a button labeled "Panorama (Beta)"... It allows you to upload the panorama and create the banner for you... Very easy! |
| 22nd October 2008 Clint Holmes | Great - From: Honduras… a Wedding, a Reunion, and a Mayan Adventure Thanks for the advise. How do you display banners above your blog like that? Did you just impose the photo somehow? It looks great! |
| 22nd October 2008 Omega | Sounds fun - From: Honduras… a Wedding, a Reunion, and a Mayan Adventure Clint, When you visit Copán, you might want to do it for at least a couple of days (if not more!)... There is much to do and see there, including horseback exploring of some sites beyond the main complexes. I did the panoramc photo using a small Canon G9 camera that I carry with me most of the time... It has a very handy function for taking several pictures in such a way that you can group them together with some special software later. Thanks for your comment! |
| 22nd October 2008 Clint Holmes | Sounds fun - From: Honduras… a Wedding, a Reunion, and a Mayan Adventure Copan sounds fun. I live in Comayagua and I plan on visiting Copan this summer. Sounds like you kept yourself pretty busy while here in Honduras, I'm glad the weather cleared up for your visit. Good blog. How did you get the banner of Copan at the top of your blog? It looks great. |
| 8th October 2008 Omega | In Search of the Legendary Working Windmill - From: In Search of the Legendary Working Windmill I am glad to learn that you do plan to do some travel before law school! Germany is a great place to do it! I look forward to reading your blogs.... I have to confess that I have been very late publishing blogs as of lately... Since the Netherlands, I have written two other blogs about two other trips, but the pictures are still sitting on my home computer's hard drive waiting to be selected... and I have not been home long enough to do it... |
| 7th October 2008 ilchicag | Glad you're blogging some more! - From: In Search of the Legendary Working Windmill Sounds like you had an interesting adventure in The Netherlands... very off the beaten path. :) Both Naarden and Weesp sound very enchanting; now I have two more places to add to the list of places to go! And as always, your photos always inspire me, and make me jealous I'm not traveling too! Good luck with the rest of your time in Amsterdam. |
| 7th October 2008 Nazila Lajevardi | Nice photos - From: In Search of the Legendary Working Windmill You brought all of my memories back from the time I was in Amesterdam. Enjoy your trip and have fun. Nazila Lajevardi |
| 19th September 2008 Graciela | Lovely place - From: All Around and not so Way Beyond Amsterdam I have been to Volendam and it´s in my memories. I haven´t seen pictures of that place since I saw yours. Wonderful. Love from Argentina. |
| 19th September 2008 Nazila Lajevardi | I really admire your photos. - From: All Around and not so Way Beyond Amsterdam You are such a Professional photographer. The way you write it reminds my trip to Amesterdam in this summer. Enjoy your trip. |
| 29th June 2008 Omega | Xi'an - From: At the Dawn of China Erratic Traveller, The Beijing Olympic Games will end on August 24.. Depending of when in September you will be in the area, I would strongly recommend considering this side-trip. If these games are anything like previous ones, China should be back to normal by the beginning of September. |
| 28th June 2008 An Erratic Traveller | - From: At the Dawn of China I've been wondering whether to try and fit Xi'an into my September visit to China. This is definitely encouragement. (But since the olympic tourists will all be there I'll probably give it a miss this year.) |
| 4th June 2008 Omega | Lucky Traveller - From: From Medieval Eze to the Cannes Film Festival During dinner at Le Candille there was a large party sitting not far from ours that was arriving directly from the festival... I don't know who they were exactly but apparently they were related to one of the films competing there (they certainly had the "look")... Also, there were several Rolls parked in front of the hotel with drivers and all, that I am sure some of the VIPs were also staying there. |
| 4th June 2008 Lone Star Travelers | Lucky traveler I have always - From: From Medieval Eze to the Cannes Film Festival wondered about the atmosphere there in Cannes! Did you have any "brush with greatness?" among the vip's.My published travel writings focus mainly on Texas, so I really enjoy this site and photos. |
| 3rd June 2008 Omega | Watermark - From: From Medieval Eze to the Cannes Film Festival The software that I use does the watermark fairly automatically on both the high and low resolution... Not doing the watermark for the low-res would actually take some extra effort and disk space. |
| 3rd June 2008 Peter | watermark - From: From Medieval Eze to the Cannes Film Festival Is it really necessary to watermark every picture, at this low resolution ? |
| 3rd June 2008 ilchicag | Exciting! - From: From Medieval Eze to the Cannes Film Festival Sounds like you're having the ideal business trips in the South of France, and your pictures look like you've been able to really get away and see some great places/meet new people. Hope your luggage shows up soon!! |
| 28th April 2008 David Daniel | You found it! - From: Around the World in 80… uhmm… Minutes?? Luis, you are amazing! You can find "something" in the middle of the largest "nothing" on the planet! I was working there for 2 weeks last year and the best thing I found about Vegas was the fact that it was down the road from Zion and Bryce... I avoided "The Strip" like the plague! You have an amazing ability to separate the "wheat from the chaff"... I certainly couldn't do it! :-) |
| 27th April 2008 Omega | Gorgeous Photos! - From: Cathedral Gorge Clear blue skies seem to be a constant feature in Nevada. Strong gusts of wind made it sometimes difficult to approach the rim of the canyons without risking getting to their bases sooner that you would prefer ;-) |
| 27th April 2008 anonymous | - From: On the Road Towards the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Actually if you have enough patience, you may take better photoes. Now the bird's nest is much better prepared for your photographing. |
| 27th April 2008 florencesophie | - From: Cathedral Gorge thank you very much for this geological explanation and having taken these photos to be shared here -:) The movie is really great with the music. |
| 27th April 2008 capsfan2002 | Great blog - From: Valley of Fire Glad you pointed out this wonderful spot! |
| 27th April 2008 capsfan2002 | Gorgeous Photos! - From: Cathedral Gorge Looks like you had a great day for photography. |
| 23rd April 2008 Omega | Pics - From: Valley of Fire Sergio, We should plan on spending at least a couple of weeks around this area of the World... Can you imagine the imagery that the three of us could capture? |
| 23rd April 2008 ilchicag | :) - From: Valley of Fire Just one word: incredible! Okay maybe some more. :) I can't count how many times I've also thought about people of the future might view our civilization years from now; I just wonder if we'll leave the same impressions as people who left the rock drawings. It's amazing how you can say so much about a place that usually is just told in photographs! Can't wait for your next blog! |
| 23rd April 2008 Sergio | Pics - From: Valley of Fire Great pics, Dad! "Medusa's shadow" is very artistic! Can you take your sons next time? |
| 5th April 2008 Omega | Like the First Time! - From: Like the First Time! Thanks Jim! Good to hear from you... I hope that you are doing fine. I imagine that your koi pond is about to hit high gear with the warmer months just ahead... |
