I love the composition and color of this shot. :) It looks so vintage.

Janjan Perez hat gesagt…

This looks like a painting of a rural countryside :)

Do you live in wine country?

David Llorito hat gesagt…

sylvia gonzalez hat gesagt…

wow, jack. your countryside surroundings look so idyllic. i would love to live in such one day...hmmmmm..someday soon =D

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

yes, Tina, I live in a romantic Pampa :-)

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

yez, but our place is really not known for snow. We have to travel to the Alps to enjoy it, Tatit.

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

I saw that on TV, too, Sha! How unfair, no?

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

Thanks, Jan! You deserve a vintage wine from me for that, LOL.

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

Our city is at the center of the so-called German Wine Route, Jan. Close to the French border.

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

it can trigger depression for some people, Dave. Indeed, it can be dreary at times but then everyone knows that it is just a phase. Soon Spring will come and it will be again different.

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

I'll gladly exchange places with you, Sylvia! It must be very exciting to live in the big A...

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

No snow in all of Europe this winter, Jack? Only desolation?

Naomy Nainggolan hat gesagt…

there was snow down here, not much though

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

I've heard about it, Naomy! Neighbors of ours had their Easter vacation in the Black Forest and they were so proud to tell us that they didn't have to drive to Austria -like we did- for the Snow. They said they had about one meter snow in Baden-Würtemberg.

nice scenery you have!

Ulla Langoo hat gesagt…

Trees are fascinating during their winter "sleep". I took a lot of black-and white photos last winter (it's definitely spring here now).

Great pics, Jack!

Jeng Dizon hat gesagt…

I like this!

sylvia gonzalez hat gesagt…

hahahaha! sure, why not? actually life is too fast here. imagine, i wake up in the morning, prepare my son's clothes, cook his breakfast, pack his lunch (now the oldest one is demanding i do it for him too). the little time i have left, all of ten minutes is spent in the shower, get dressed and off we go to my son's school, then i go to work. you would feel dizzy if you're not used to this lifestyle. hahahaha! still interested?

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

Thanks, Ulla! This time with a little help from Photoshop which Al Perez and Janjan Perez (no, I don't think they're related) gladly recommend to me. I remember we talked about it earlier here where I complained that I lost the files of the Photos I tweaked with PS. I found them again (I saved them with a PSD file extentions instead of JPG, so my Explorer didn't recognize them when I opened them) and here are the results.

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

Thanks, Jeng! Are you now in Stuttgart, btw?

Jack Catarata hat gesagt…

Sylvia, I love NY, NY but only for vacation! I love my slow daily grind here in my little pampa LOL

Janjan Perez hat gesagt…

Hehehe... sayang that you don't live here in Cebu, Jack. :) I normally give PS lessons to friends who are interested to learn. My price? A cup of cappuccino and a slice of cake. :)

But in your case, I think I will have to ask for a bottle of your German vintage. :) I've never had German wine before, I'm curious how it compares to French.

So good to see you back online, Jack.
