  • I visited the Basilica in 1972 with my Older Brother (now deceased), and a friend. I was very impressed. I will return soon.

I admire very very much the Midle Age.t was not dark, was sooooo lightly, but unknow to day, but I hope someday people understand without prejudice these centuries. Your two sites are in my favorites members until to day. Saludos de Chile de tu nueva amiga Ale Fabry

  • Hey, Jacques-- Thanks for the kind words in my guestbook. You are on my favorites list because I can travel vicariously through your eyes. I hope to one day see in person the magnificent subjects of your lens. Riff

  • Hi Jacques, thank you for the message you left on my guestbook! Your pitcures are wonderful! I'm going to upload new photo of Venice (I just come back!) but aren't so good. Sardegna is a big wonderful island, the published photos are from the north coast but I have visited also the south, it's cheaper and wonderful. If you are interested, try Villasimius and his coast, but go there in June or September to avoid masses. Bye, Alex.

  • Bonjour Jacques ! Je suis un peu en retard pour répondre à ton invitation et j'espère que tu me pardonnera :)) J'ai revisité avec plaisir cette basilique de Vézelay que j'avais vue "en vrai" il y a plus d'un an maintenant. Toujours aussi belle et tes photos m'ont remémoré bien des souvenirs ! Merci pour ce très bel album d'un endroit que j'aime beaucoup. Merci aussi pour tes superbes commentaires : une vraie visite guidée !! Bravo Jacques !! Amitiés, Chantal

  • Hi, Jacques - Thanks for your entry in my guest book "Alps - My...." I had lots of company here and have been out of touch with WS and my favorite members for a while, so I am just catching up to this beautiful new album of yours. Great pictures with so much architectural detail that I expect in your photos - it is like your trademark. I enjoyed viewing it! As to your question why does WS remove members from search? They have done this for years - don't know why - but you can see the results when views and downloads go down or up. I know many other members have complained about that - without really getting an explanation. If you find out why, please let me know. All my best - bruno

  • Hi Jacques, thanks again for sharing with us your beautiful pictures. We love the way you present them,i.e. with details and historical description. We enjoy looking at your pictures Mary and Rayman

  • Ciao Jacques! I'm sorry for my late, but I don't power up my Pc during WE (my family at first...). A beautiful album from a beatiful church; as usual I'm amazed for the quality of your comments and for your love for art and culture. This is an attitude that in our sad days is in disappearance, so perhaps you are like a monk in dark days.. (I don't joke; I think it's the true). About shots... the quality as usual is great and if I must choose I will applause photo 5 for the impressive internal view and for the perfect result of colors in a difficult situation, and photo 8 for the excellent perspective. A BIG ciao from Italy... now I wait your shots from my country and for fantastic Corsica... Have a NICE day! Ruggero

  • Thank you Jacques for the marvellous pictures and the educative captions. The photos cover all aspects of architecture so well. I paused at each picture to absorb what you had to say. Thank you, my friend, for sharing these fabulous pictures. Take care, Suresh

  • Bonjour my friend, I am so glad to hear that you will be visiting some italian cathedrals. I will be waiting with baited breath for those magnificent shots and learn from the teacher on how to capture spiritual beauty properly. This is as always has been very inspiring to view and may you continue to shine and share your perspectives always! Take care as always, amy :)

  • Jacques and Pierre!!! The real difference between gothic and roman is your ability to capture the essence of each in an image!!Good album!!warm greetings,weezie

  • Hello Jacques! You have captured one of my favorite subjects and how beautiful the images are. The nave picture is outstanding!!!You are rich on subjects where you live as the culture is so much older and more ornate than it is here. Thanks for the presentation....Trudy

  • Cher Ami, ca c'est tout???? I am not used to such "short statements" in your creations! It is indeed a PEARL! Beauty erected with purity and sobriety. The view of the Nave is magnificent. I love the Mater Dolorosa !Thanks for the invitation! There are still so many albums to catch with on your page that I really do not know what to look at first?!?!A bientot, Gabriela

  • Bonjour Jacques! Thank you for this jewel! I LOVE the arches in particular, and the corinthian capital is perfect. I think Roman is still my favorite of all architectural styles. Merci beaucoup! Love, Beth

  • Hi Jacques. Great album! To teach me what gothic and what Roman is please put it in the title of the photos. Greetings Anna
