Well, what do you know? Someone seems to be browsing through my old entries...

Just for the record, what you see here are old versions of the Madeira pics, scanned from print rather than negative and unedited. I recently rescanned them from negative, and mean to post some edited versions of them soon. You just got there slightly ahead of me...

It's funny that the misty photo should remind you of a Japanese painting. While I was out there walking, I was often reminded of Chinese paintings -- not any paintings in particular, but rather Chinese painting in general. As I said in the introductory remarks, the way the mist rolled down the hills seemed very Chinese. But I guess it could be Japanese, as well. Nice pic, anyhow. :-)

I just checked out your journal, and really like some of your photos. Would you minded if I added you to my friends list?
