  • I have always wanted to travel around your beatuiful country and your photos have inspired me all the more! The colours are just gorgeous, excellent work! I actually feel as though I am there! Hopefully one day you can travel to my beatuiful country and I'm sure that your photos will our beaches and landscapes the justice it deserves! Once again, well done on some absolutely outstanding photos! Vanessa, Melbourne, Australia

  • Hi, great pictures. I don't know whether you have ever been to Alcossebre on Spain's East Coast but I find it to be a very beautiful part of the world. Have a look for yourself on http://www.eastcoastspain.com and click the locality and picture pages to gain a feel for the area. There is a great National Park ideal for walkers, bird watching, flowers and fauna enthusiasts as well as having some breath taking views.

  • Hi Ruggero, this is another wonderful album of yours! I'd like to thank you for your kind words in my guestbook and to invite you to visit my South America albums. They contain pictures from my travels to Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. I hope you'll enjoy them. Greetings from Israel, Yair.

  • Hello Ruggero and greetings from the land down under. I cannot understand how I have missed seeing this album - it is a masterpiece and I viewed every photo at full screen on a 10 second slide show. I started to note down my favourites but gave it away when I realised I was noting down almost every photo. Superb work that has made the most of the magnificent scenery all around you. Now its back to your feature album of the day! Best wishes, Peter in Western Australia

  • Whenever you make it again to the Costa Brava, please spend some time in Tossa de Mar. Your photos about Tossa will be thrilling, I'm sure. Right now I'm getting your views into Photostory 3, that adds an entirely new dimensions to your art. Want to see it let me know at jvtijn@hotmail.com. Ciao!!! Great work again!!!

  • Hello Ruggero and thanks. I just wonder why I haven't seen this album before. Gorgeous, just great colors, everything in place in your photos. Never visited those districts, always driving through with a speed of 130 km/h at least, just continuing my way to and from Finland while I was living in Benalmadena Pueblo, Andalucia, Spain. Now I know how I come to see your alps to Italy next May - through these Spanish sceneries I ques. Anyway Ruggero, a very beautiful album with excellent costal shots - great pleasure to discover this collection. Just wonder who is the master of this kind of sceneries my friend - I think this is the first time you make them outside Italy - and even here with very good results. Outstanding work my friend. My warm greetings now from Portugal, Antti; A Very Merry Christmas To You And Your Family and A Happy New Year 2005 - nice to have you as such an inspiring model of a prolike photographer, who has given me such amount support during my days here in webshots community -thanks Ruggero!

  • Ciao my friend Ruggero! I am very sad to see that your album is on #3 in spain category : it should be on the first place, and not these uninteresting and garbage albums which are on the 2 first places ! I am very sad when looking in the different album categories, to see that the best scores are given to garbages photo collections. Thanks for reminding us that webshots could be something else ! Have a wonderful week-end, Ruggero, your friend, Chantal

  • Ciao Ruggero! Tante tante grazie per i meravegliosi complimenti che hai fato (a la mia figlia...) per Ibiza... Lei non a l'internet, allora ti ringrazio nel suo nome. Adesso sono IO chi parla nel MIO nome: qu'est-ce que c'est beau tout ce que tu as fait comme photos ici, de mon pays!!!! (tu sais, je suis de cette région de "l'Empordà&q uot;, où il y a la Costa Brava, Figueres, etc). J'ai même étudié à Figueres et j'ai connu personnellement à Dali (et suis allée, toute petite, chez-lui à Port Lligat, tout près de Cadaqués, avec mes parents). Eh oui, des vieux souvenirs... Je connais très bien le Cap de Creus, et Llafranc, Calella, Cap de San Sebastià, etc... Ce qui me plaît c'est que tu as pris des photos de la nature... C'est beau! Et elle est belle notre Méditerranée (vôtre et nôtre), eh? Salut, et à tout à l'heure! Luz

  • Hello Ruggero, I really don't know what has gone wrong??? I've sent email to Webshots to complain about this. I've normally uploaded the photos to that album and has added more photos to my another album. Up to this moment my homepage is still freezed. I can't do anything until they reply to me today or tomorrow. Really sorry my dear friend! I hope things can be back to normal as soon as possible, and I'll inform you. Nevertheless, I can still see all my friends' pictures. This is fine. Let me start now! See you! CS

  • Ciao Ruggero ! I thank you for your nice comments on my Du Barry park and Aveyron albums ! I must say that it is always a pleasure to view your albums : just dreaming awake !! I especially like the contrast of the blue (either form the see or from the sky, or from both !!) you have in your pics against the other colors of what Nature offers. Thanks again, my friend, for all your albums and for the pleasure of viewing them ! Have a nice week, Ruggero, friendly, Chantal

I don't remember the number of the photo with the cactus flower hanging over the ocean, that is amazing photography, I wonder if that shot was very difficult to capture! Thank you for sharing Costa Brava! I have added your name to our Nature's Finest album, thank you for choosing a favorite! Candy

  • Hi Roger! I came back for a quick re-visit and I'm in need of some wall papers for my colleagues who have no interest in my pictures and I told them this is one of the best albums on the webshots and they agreed. So here I'm downloading some of these beautiful pictures for them...now I'm out and you're in with them...lol. Hey I see that you're getting a handful of comments everyday. Isn't that a wonderful feeling when people around you appreciate what you're doing? I'm happy for you, my friend. I've lost my pace somewhere somehow and I'm still trying to get it back. I'm sort of a corrupted file now...lol. Need to straighten out some things... Well..that's all from me today. Catch you later! Sanjay

Conosco ogni villaggio della Costa Brava, ogni angolo, ogni rocca, ogni paessaggio (forse ho essagerato un po'!)... e posso dirti che hai catturato nelle tue foto tutta la bellezza ed il colore di questa bellissima parte della mia Catalogna. Vedendo il tuo album mi è sembrato di sentire pure l'aria sul viso... l'odore salato dell'acqua... Nel tuo prossimo viaggio vieni a Barcelona... ti piacerà! Un saluto con tanto affetto e simpatia.

  • Ciao Ruggero! Il tuo soggiorno in Spagna è stata un'altra occasione che hai colto per catturare queste bellissime immagini. Bravissimo!! I colori caldi e mediterranei hanno la giusta saturazione, senza esagerazioni; hai mantenuto come sempre l'alternanza tra ampi paesaggi e ricerca del dettaglio, dando equilibrio e leggerezza all'intero album che si scorre con grande piacere. Entrando nel particolare, considero grande l'idea della 032 (una foto commovente!), essenziale e convincente la 039, da plagio (!) la 011 (già vedendo la miniatura mi sono accorto della sfacciata copiatura...), da superpremio l'intera serie di finestre e stradine di Cadaques. Non saprei cos'altro aggiungere se non che concordo pienamente con i commenti appassionati e divertenti di Kathy e Orly. Un amichevole saluto da Luca. P.S.: non scusarti per il ritardo dei tuoi interventi sul mio guestbook; certo, i tuoi pareri mi interessano, ma non pretendo la tempestività! Anche in mancanza di un tuo scritto, so che segui comunque le mie pubblicazioni, e di questo ti ringrazio! A presto. Ciao!

  • Caro Ruggero,Your album is awesome!!!The colours are absolutely wonderful.I like all of it, but I still managed to find 17 favourites which I am going to download as screensavers.At times, some of the lanscapes at Cap Creus look like some place on an other planet.Then No.41 can be a sight you can find in Japan, too.No.62 is a rare combination, the sands and the boat looking like a huge orange leaf moored to eternity.No.82 is a composition of particular quality, the colours complement one another so well!!! Well, I generally look at the artistic side. My friend Ina, who is a trained artist, knows also a lot about the technical side of photography. Thanks for your visit; the photos from Phuket are ALL my husband's, taken with the first digital camera - the Fuji Finepix. I got the bug much later. Of course you can use the titles, I claim no property on what is written. It is true that I do the albums as well as the PR because my husband speaks only Japanese.The answer to your question: In the middle of the night I was working on an album which I hope to release tomorrow. Whenever you want to ask something, please use my address in Yahoo, which is for real! It is mighty generous of you to make such a fantastic album and share it with us all! Best of regards from Gabriela

  • Ruggero! Me again!! LOL :o)b I forgot to tell you last time I wrote, that I was at first viewing your fabulous collection as a slide show, but I had to stop and start over. Manually moving forward to the next image. as the slide show did not give enough time for me to examine and study (and pay homage) to each piece of art. It was as if I were in a grande museum and strolling from place to place for each masterpiece. Just great and grande!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise with me!! I enjoyed every moment of it!!! :o)b barbara

  • Hi, Ruggero. Your photos are simply DAZZLING! I can't find any other word that could describe them. The vivid colors, the composition. Simply beautiful. You're a genius with your camera, a painter of light. I hope to see more of this. Ciao e complimenti da un'ammiratrice dei tuoi lavori. Carmela

  • INCREDIBLE!!!!#32&quo t;Little Beauty on the Beach!!!!!!!Big beauty,(all this album),in our eyes and hearts dear FRIEND RUGGERO. I hate to be late...I did not see it in time to be the first to congratulate you master of camera and heart of beauty, nature and colors!!!# 20 FANTASTIC!!!!,# 41 BREATHTAKING..19, 45, 61,62.59 ....#71 GORGEOUS, 82. What else can I say that has not been said? As Orly says, you should have been featured so many times already, but people at Webshots have some eye problems I suggest them to visit "Lenscrafters& quot; or some good eye doctor ...man ...they are really having some big problems with their visual organs!!!!!!!But what matters at all is that you KNOW!!(and we all know) that your photos are fantastic and the way you put them together and the descriptions is more just clicking around with a stupid little machine....it needs more than a finger ...heart and brain my friend that's what it is...and that is what you have. I would like to write the word that you taught me some time ago,but for reason of good taste I don't write it OK.(you know what I mean???) And that is that. Abraccios/kathy/caterina

  • Ciao Ruggero, it is an album of light and a perfect invitation to take vacations; As always yours pictures are bright and the angles of caption always perfect; You often success in aerial views, have you a little plane? I think we are very similar in our views of the reality! My favorite pictures in this album are 1 3 12 17 20 23 31 37 41 43 50 (for the sky) 61 & 63 73 80 83. Congratulations my brother for the generous and nice work! I am writing from Pierre's portable, my computer is out! Thank you for kind messages for my featured album of June 11 (we left Paris the day before!!!) I discovered everything coming back home and many people will not understand I have not answered them!; I have three or four more albums of 100 photos to depose on India plus 10 on other subjects and I already reach 2300 on 3000 permitted; During this last one month vacations, a 5600 km drive on mountains little roads mainly, I took 1640 pictures, half of the archi wonderful & wild flowered Corsica, and half of the Italian wonders of Toscana, Emilie , Milano, Piemonte and France; Corsica is a pure jewel I hope you have visited, for me it was a first complete exploration, all days driving on all existing roads to discover, but I will probably return there for real vacations perhaps to live there definitively! I cannot understand now how I have waited 58 years before visiting such a perfect paradise located in my Country! Have a nice day; Jacques

  • Hello, my dear European guide! You certainly have expanded your gorgeous touring service. After France, now we come to Spain. I'm saying the truth. I have really a deep feeling. Every trip you are leading us to ..... so well organized, well presented, neat, stunning, beautiful, colourful, harmonic, peaceful, such good weather, such brilliant sunshine, blue sky, blue waters ..... from big old cities to small quiet villages ..... You have such talent, discovering BEST OF THE BEST in every single corner of every single place you have visited, and most important, so well presented to us, giving us such a wonderful, comfortable and enjoyable trip travelling alongside with you. In this way, I can sit back and relax, and seeing BEST OF THE BEST of every destination. I like every single picture of this album, and of course for all of your other albums. You may hardly believe, if I can only select one, and only one, picture from this album ..... #32 the little beauty! The way this photo leading me to a deep thinking of childhood, so innocent! Deeply thank you very much my friend for sharing with us all your impressive trips. Just one more query I have to bring out, you must have an absolute good relationship with God, or you must have some ultra power ..... the stormy, rainy or cloudy weather will always stay away from you whereever you go! Thank you very much for all your nice comments to my BW album. Truly, God Bless You my dear friend! CS

  • Ruggero, this album is simply breathtaking! Each photos is gorgeous! I especially like: 016 - Cadaques - A view from the sea, 027 - Cap de sant Sebastià - looking at sea, and: 042 - Punta de la Torre - a window over the sea. Incredible work! Thank you for taking me on a tour of Spain via your camera lens. Candi

  • Another charming album of a glimpse of Costa Brava through the eyes of a genius! I loved the artistic shots of the windows, to the details of the boats and houses. Showing intimate details makes it more personal, I feel! Thanks for sharing another brilliant album and can't wait for the next album to be created! Cheers my friend, amy

  • Ciao Ruggero - I am back after that wonderful trip through the Costa Brava. My pen ran out of ink jotting down favorites, there are so many. The composition is excellent and the colors are delightful. The first one I went back to for my desktop was #62 - the beautiful orange boat that looks like a giant leaf! I downloaded that and many others, including your favorite beach. I love the foot shaped rock on the beach. Thanks for this delightful journey, amico mio. Un altro grand'abbraccio, Beth

  • Ciao Ruggero! What a great album. I have only looked at the thumbnails but can tell already I will love it. Now I will sit and enjoy the slideshow, then come back with more comments. Thanks for visiting my garden - wish you and your family could visit it in person :-) Un grand'abbracio, Beth

  • Hi Ruggero!!!! Thanks for your comments and visiting my albums! I REALLY appreciate your friendship! Honestly, the comments coming from a photographer of your caliber really make me smile! I keep thinking that a feature would be nice (I am so pleased with the Hibiscus collection - Mother Nature has TRULY out-done herself there!!!) but it seems it will never happen. I will just keep happy dancing anyway!!! :o)b barbara

  • Good morning Ruggero. It's so nice to wake up and to see a new album from you. Wonderful done and I agree I prefer the little hidden villages too, so peaceful and relaxing. Love taking my virtual traveling tour through your eyes and lenses. Thank you it's always appreciated and truly enjoyed. take care your friend Marietta

The lanscapes and colors are wonderful, Ruggero, and I loved all the photos of your album. Cadaques pics are my favorites, but all are beautiful.

  • RUGGEROOOOOO! I have so many things to say and not sure where to start... so I'll just start some how... Well I was very thrilled to see that you have a new album and moreover, I finally got to view it soon after it opens! I was also glad to receive an answer about how was your vacation in Spain… and what an answer!! I enjoyed it so much from the fantastic cover photo till the very end. As someone not aware of the big hotels, crowd beaches and crazy night life of Costa Brava, your big hotels, crowd beaches and crazy night life have stolen my heart… Love all your Sea Colors photos, and in general the colors in this album are spectacular. The photos of Cadaques are all extraordinary. It surprises me that Dali made his weird paintings living in such a perfectly beautiful and peaceful place. Don’t get me wrong, I adore his paintings. Anyway, really a series of excellent shots, the White Paradise, the colorful windows, the glances to the sea, and of course, the amazing Walking Over Roofs photo (I guess one should be careful not to fall off the roof with such a scenery!) All through the album really wonderful and enjoyable photos with nice comments as usual… and then a surprise! Your have dedicated me Punta de la Torre - a place to enjoy the gorgeous beauty of sea. :-o I can’t tell you how moved I am! That is sooo sweet. It was one about dozen photos I downloaded from the album which is a very rare event, since I have thousands of wallpapers and hardly download any more. I love the cactus by the sea and the cactus flowers. There are such cacti in Israel but I’ve never seen them by the sea and it looks stunning. I love the perspectives of the boats in Calella de Palafrugel and Cala de la Fosca. The Agulla de Castell photos, eg 71 and 73, are breathtaking… In a way I empathize with your wife and you… It must be hard returning from such a remarkable vacation (though Lombardia is no less beautiful). However your pictures must be a wonderful way to enjoy those places again and your kindness allow us all to enjoy them too. I join Sanjay and cross my fingers that this album will be featured as soon as possible. Unfortunately the best albums are not always featured, otherwise you should have already been featured several times, but I’m sure your turn will arrive. I hope it will happen soon so that more people will enjoy your photos and so that you can be even more famous :-))) Ciaooooo Have a great day! Your friend Orly

  • Hi Roger! Thanks very much for your kind comments on my Buddha album. I guess this is the first time I get to sign your album first! And I truly believe that you'll have it featured in a matter of days from now... Well..my friend, very rarely I've seen people who could capture the beauty of the nature like you. You are seeing the real thing when you look at your subjects. I could almost feel it by just looking at these beautiful photographs. As for my favourites here, I'm having a hard time making up my mind as I'm taking some time off at the office just to view your album...lol. Here I go making a quick selection for today. They're 044, 062, 068, 069, 070 & 077 Alright my friend, I'll come later for more. Cheers! Sanjay
