  • Bonsoir Luc! Quel magnifique album sur un coin de notre pays complètement ignoré par les touristes! J'adore vos photos et vous avez éveillé en moi le désir de visiter l'Ile Verte et le désir de reprendre mes pinceaux! Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!

  • Bonjour! Luc, This album is destined to be featured. The captures are superb. It is a wonderful moment in time that you have saved. The way things go - these scenes may be lost to us before we know it, but you certainly have preserved some of them through your work. Thank you for sharing these - Now - you were not late - it is always great to hear from you. I was off shooting and haven't had a chance to thank everyone for their kind comments and words of encouragement until today. As it looks, it will take me several days to address all of them. I just received yours and couldn't let the moment pass without visiting yours and to thank you for visiting and for your kind words. I greatly value your visits and comments. I have great respect for the work you present on Webshots and derive great pleasure in seeing your talent through your photographs. Thank you once again. Warmest regards, Stan, California

  • Hi Luc, What an amazing album and an amazing place to visit; extremely well done. The old weatherbeaten buildings, boats, etc. were just outstanding. Let me ask about the very thin strudtures with the very steep roofs-- what are they for? I almost thought they were unreal at first--like maybe youo had narrowed the picture from the sides-- very odd to me. I will be back to look at more. Mike

I cannot remember seeing this amazing last shot of the moon ,could this be taken using your fabulous new lense?Regardless it is sensational and very in keeping with the glorious photographs held within this album full of peace and serentity.Be well dear Luc and happy.Love from over the sky and sea -Lynne

  • Hi Luc! What a wonderful album!! I love the barns and lighthouses and that last shot(the moon) is fabulous! This is a really great album!! South of Plattsburgh on route 9 in the area of Peru dock and snug harbor marina, if you look out toward Lake Champ[lain, you will be looking at Valcour Island and the lighthouse. It has all been refurbished inside and in the summer they display photos by local artists on the walls... photos of thing pretaining to the area. They do have visitors days!Have a great day! Bob

  • Bonjour Luc! Dans quel album vous écrire un mot? Choix difficile chez vous (chez toi!) - mais cette mystérieuse île oubliée nous conviendrait parfaitement: nous aimons une certaine solitude, sans excès... - Merci pour les mots gentils dans notre album - en effet, la "feature" est uns sorte de cadeau de Noël! - Que les jours et semaines à venir soient sans soucis, remplis de joie! Cordialement: Kaethi et Henri

  • Hello Luc! I'm sorry I don't know what's new since I was last here. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this gorgeous album again though!!! You really captured the serenity and sublime beauty of this magical island. Your sense of humor is superb as always! I can't say more, it's just perfect! Your photos give such a sense of 'being there' out of time and space, a leisurely and tranquil visit where every secret is carried on the eternal wind. Thanks so much for taking us along!!! Jane

  • Bonjour Luc,what a wonderful place this island seems,it is as if time stands still there and little has changed in many years,your fine eye for composition has captured the natural beauty of the island and the wonderful old wooden buildings beautifully in this series of images. Thank-you very much for sharing it with us and of course for your kind comment in my featured Scotland album this week,Regards,Rod.

  • Cher Luc! Je reviens voir ce bel album! Quel plaisir pour les yeux et pour l'âme! Ces magnifiques paysages et ce beau travail que tu as fait!!! C'est bucolique, calme et beau (pourquoi tu l'appelles "l'Ile Oubliée"?...)On doit absolument te donner la "feature" pour cet album aussi!!!! A propos: merci pour tes mots dans mon Guestbook , tu sais bien que j'apprécie beaucoup tes commentaires (et tes encouragements! Merci, mon ami!) A bientôt! Tou de lou (comme dirait Paul!) Luz

  • Merci Luc pour ta visite son mon featured album de la semaine passee, dans un message recent tu mentionnais que c'est rendu difficile de faire un album complet avec de nouvelles photos. J'avoue que c'est le cas pour moi aussi mais je remarque que tu t'es fort bien debrouille sur celui ci avec cette impressionnante serie sur l'Ile Verte. J'y etais alle l'an passee pour une visite de quelques heures seulement et je vois par tes photos en soiree que j'ai manque une belle occasion de faire un album plus complet et diversifie. Bravo mon cher Luc pour ton beau travail! Bye et a la prochaine. Michel

  • Dear Friend ,what a gorgeous portrayal of your wonderfully tranquil ,serene and peaceful holiday in a dream like place rendering yesterday so fresh in your mind.Fabulous captures ,but then, what else would we expect from you dear Luc?You always capture the spiritual qualities of your subjects which is one reason I love your photography so much and this album is ,from go to whoa ,another piece of your skillful,talented and artistic originals ,totally between you and your chosen subjects.This little paradise reminds me so much of my country -very Kiwi scenes exposed here and I adore them all.Shot for me ,just because of the stark colour contrasts you have chosen to expose "This caught my eye" for me a wonderful wonderful shot.I am so thrilled that you spent this time in contentment and peace -it shows through your work wonderfully well and I am convinced that your soul was restored amongst beauty and simplicity.A wonderful collection of your work Luc -I salute you!- Love from over the oceans -Lynne

    said  of lynne294 lynne294 2005.07.09 at 04:40:35 PDT

  • Hi Luc, it sure is a wonderful place! It looks as if time stands still and the progress and rush did not damage this peaceful place. It must be a wonderful place for a holiday! Your captures are very nice. I love that overtime working hen (#29) - with her husband (#7) walking around in the wind checking out visitors! Thanks for your wonderful comments in my fairytale album about those tree trunks. You are flattering me :-) Have a wonderful weekend! Galit from Israel

  • CIAO LUC and my compliments for this wonderful visit in a different world.... in true a walk this forgotten island is like a time machine experience! It's also an interesting album... I have see here many old buildings that are so strange for an italian man like me.... As usual your shots are GREAT and I must say that your eye for compositions is really good. My favorites shots are 15, 19 for the great perspective that you have created, 30 and 31 (two fantastic shots), 40, 45 for its saturated colors (that I LOVE) and landscapes 55 and 60.

  • Hello Luc! Once again you have excelled. You dig out the remotest parts of this world and bring them alive like the last animal album. These are excellent pictures and I thoroughly enjoyed going through them. Have never heard of L'Ile Oubliee. Now I know what it looks like. Best wishes, Suresh

    said  of suresh_krishna suresh_krishna 2005.07.02 at 22:23:01 PDT

  • Hello Luc: This is a wonderful Album. I enjoyed viewing the slide show very much. The houses and other buildings are so quaint and interesting. I love the photo of the moon. Where in the St. Lawrence is this island located? I don't think I have heard about it previously. My knee replacement was a huge success. I'm much more able to get out and about. I have a digital camera now, and it is such fun to take photos with it. Have a great summer. Sandie /B.C.Canada

  • Hello Luc, what a gorgeous island this is. Love the old white house with red trim and the wishing well. Not much population but looks so relaxing and out away from all the hustle bustle. Beautiful sky that day. Did it rain? Really a nice album. Enjoy the slideshows. Take care, Sharon/Arizona

  • Bonjour Luc! Nous avons de jeunes visiteurs - alors les moments d'acces a l'ordinateur sont rares...Et pourtant il nous tardait de te dire combien cet album nous a enchante! Cet ile oubliee nous a fascine: loin de la vie hectique des temps modernes - on plonge dans un reve, dans le calme absolu - un medecin traitant des gens hypernerveux devrait les mettre devant l'ecran, brancher le diaporama... et il obtiendrait des merveilles! - Enfin: tous nos compliments - c'est vraiment "quelque chose"! Aussi, toutes les vues sont tellement "uniques" qu'il n'y aurait pas lieu de citer des preferees. - Merci aussi pour ton GE amical pour le "Jardin de Mme MIR"! - Bon weekend, a bientot! Kaethi et Henri

  • Bonjour Luc! Genial ton album! Quelle qualite, mon ami! Bravo mille fois! Il faut dire que les ecoles chez vous sont plus sympas qu'ici (ici elles sont trop austeres...trop serieuses, moins coloriees). Mes autres preferees sont la 31 (jolie maisonnette), le coq, la poule et le vieux poulailler (et les bateaux, bien sur!) A la prochaine! Luz

  • Hi Luc...This The Forgotten Island is just a spectacular album of beauty...and also the "well Hi there" and 'working overtime" made me laugh!! Cute little white house with the bright red roof!! Great shot!! The Windmill photos are awesome my friend..and no doubt a lot of history and memories sweep right across this beautiful island. The gorgeous old buildings...and the memories of days gone by...are all swept together by your masterful eye...and the impact of all is just very very beautiful!!!..Dirt roads, stunning scenery and the magic of the ocean. A total joy to behold my friend and tks kindly for your lovely words in my wildflowers album..as it is much appreciated. A wonderful collection...of postcards from the past and tks heaps for sharing. Take care and have a really really great day...Kindest regards...Em from Aussie

  • Dear Luc!:)....and again you created masterpiece:)...I like as usually all pictures - because they all create the wonderful Story. My favorites however are - the pictures from the graveyard - for their nostalgia and really peaceful atmosphere, the picture of the sunset - I love it without further comments:)...and - the last picture of the Moon - and now funny story from me - not so long ago I've got by e-mail very similar picture of the Moon from my other Friend here on webshots (he told me it's a picture taken by one of his Friends). I wonder if you new each other?;)...Anyway - I would like to thank you for your kind and wonderful (also - as usual) comments in my new albums - your meaning is very important for me. Many friendly and really joyful smiles today from Tami:

  • Bonjour Luc! This is a great album! The composition in the first photo of the lighthouse with the grass and clouds and the lighting is outstanding. Many others too stand out - especially the red and white hut. Great work! Thanks for stopping by my featured album on Monday. I love to hear from you and value your comments. Warmest regards, Beth

    said  of maxeclip maxeclip 2005.06.29 at 05:39:31 PDT

  • Hi Luc. Another winner I think. I like everything about this album and the island. The photos I like most are the ones with dirt road and old log fences. The ones with that and the sheep are special. The Christmas logs were unusual. You also had a couple of great sunsets. The old buildings and the lighthouse shots are great. I particularly liked the middle photo of the graveyard trio. Last but not least, I like the way you label every shot. I enjoyed the visit mate and next time I come I'll look at your snow geese album. Cheers mate. Al.
