Dear Henri and Kaethi, What lovely pictures from your holiday I especially liked the ones from the prehistoric park always fascinating to see how people lived and survived thousands of years ago. I also liked all the flower ones its something I remember from our visit to France years ago.Thank you for your entry in my Staffa album I have many more picture from our holiday but computer problems mean it may ne a while before I can post anymore I am on a laptop at the moment but my pictures are elsewhere. Hope there are more pictures from your holiday to view too. Take care now Jill

Hallo Henri und Käthi, Vielen Dank für dieses prachtvolles Album. Ich habe mit viel Vergnügen die Bilder angeschaut. Die Bilder vom Burg sind wunderschön, ebenso wie die Bilder vom Schwanenbrunnen und die alte Häuser. Ich mag diese alte Schlösser immer gerne anschauen. Die Bilder vom Prehistoric Park sind auch sehr schön und sehr interessant. Liebe Grüsse, Els

Hi Kaethi and Heinz..Wow look at the castle! So interesting to see this. The detail on the castle is beautiful...the carving and architecture. A real suit of armour....this would be interesting to see. I like the house built in the rock and the shot of the three towers from the old town. The old town looks so different...the houses and buildings are very close together and the streets are narrow, but it is preserved beautifully. It is beautiful inside the church. Brian would love to see the prehistoric park and all the kinds of arrow heads there are. I would like to see it too, but might be afraid of lizards. The bison are very modern statues in contrast to the prehistoric things, but they are nice. I would love to paint the rock too! I like the shots of the berries and the scenery of the park, especially photo #49. I love the houses in Tarascon. They have nice flowers and colours and make it very welcoming. Thanks for sharing your holiday photos. hugs and much love, Barbara

Hi Kaethi and Henri! I enjoyed the slideshow of the castle, the church, and the prehistoric park. I also like the modern statues of the Bison; very interesting. You must have had a wonderful vacation and saw lots of interesting, plus educational sights. I also like the flowers around the house; how do they get in through the door? I guess they just step over the flower plnaters. Hope you are recovering from your vacation, have all the laundry done, and are relaxing at home now. :-) Lots of hugs and love, Sharon

Hi Henri and Kaethi! Wow, what a beautiful castle. Truly beautiful old villages. The house built into the stone under the castle is amazing. The flowers around the houses are beautiful. The Prehistoric Park must have been exciting and very interesting. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photographs with us all...and thanks for the gracious words in my guestbook, they are truly appreciated. Take care dear friends...hugs and love galore...Darlene

Hello Henri and Kaethi, I like those typical old French villages a lot. The photos are beautiful, bad luck that you had a cloudy day in Foix. I presume you prefer sunny pictures too. My favorites are those of the prehistoric park and of Tarascon. I especially liked the old town street and the houses of past centuries in Tarascon, you've conveyed an almost sacred atmosphere with these photos. And I also like to mention the Sorbus aucuparia and mountain. Breathtaking! Grüsse, Tjebbe

Hello Kaethi & Henri. You have captured so much History in this charming album. Those magnificent old buildings have certainly stood the test of time and hold so much interest. Of course I love the country scenes with the green gr#### and blue skies, and the pretty floral entrances. Well done and thankyou for sharing your holiday. Thankyou too for visiting my little birds, they are venturing further afield now, but have all survived luckily. Best wishes, Gladys, Western Australia.

Back again! I see that Webshots still have not fixed the over-zealous censor that will not allow us to write gr####, p####ed, cl####ic, m####ive, etc... You will just have to use your imagination. Gladys..

Hello Kaethi and Henri. I am intrigued with your photos of the prehistoric park. The ancient world of the human race has always been a fascination. Your collections of small towns and villages are superior to any tour guide. I thank you for taking the time to visit my photos and your kind words. Regards, Roger

Hallo, ihr Lieben! Liebe Kaethi und lieber Heinz! Vorerst mal hezlichen Dank fuer deine prompten Eitragungen auf meiner neuen hp. Die "Olga-Alben" sind wirklich was Nettes geworden und wenn ich mal mehr Geld habe kaufe ich mir die Premium membership auch fuer diese Seite. _ Hach, danke, lieber Heinz fuer deinen lieben Komentar gerade eben! Das ist ja nett!!! Seid beide herzlichst gedrueckt. - Nun habe ich mir endlich dieses Album angeguckt (ist ja zum Auswachsen, wie langsam derzeit webshots ist!!!!:-(!!!), ich habe es in Geduld erwartet, bis die Bilder aufgingen und wurde auch dafuer belohnt. Das sind ja wunderbare Fotos von dieser schoenen Stadt Foix. Ich liebe ja geradezu so alte Staedte mit so schoenen Schloss-oder Burganlagen. Auch diese schoenen bunten Haeuser und Fachwerkbauten haben mich sehr beeindruckt. Weißt du, was mir auch so gut gefaellt, d#### sind die Lampen mit den Blumen darauf. Eine hoecht dekorative Sache - wunderschoen! Ausserdem sind diese Lampen so huebsch und p####en - fuer meinen Geschmack - auch sehr gut zu der Altstadt! Na, alles rundherum ein praechtiges Album, d#### mir sehr viel Freude gemacht hat, es anzuschauen. Jetzt werde ich noch zum 2. Album weiterwandern! Seid beide herzlichst gedrueckt und ich schicke euch ein liebes Busserl aus Freil####ing - eure Trixi :-)

Hello Kaethi and Henri, What a very interesting and varied album with some extremely different type of architecture in the older p[arts of town, I have heard of Tarascon Park before it must be a very interesting place. to anwser your ? about the Turkish side of Cyprus, they are and have always been very friendly towards British people even when we were the Colonial power, I was in Cyprus during 1959, when the peace accord was signed granting independence. At that time the Turkish Population were quiet happy with us, it was the Greek Cypriot population that were very anti towards us. So now I think that both sides welcome us mainly for the money from the tourist trade, nothing ever changes, Kind Regards and best wishes Ken

Hello Henri and Kaethi. This is really a beautiful album! It should be featured! You sure have an eye for details and composition. And your photos are very sharp and colourful! I looked at it with the slideshow. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your very kind comments in by featured gb. It was such a surprise for me to see it featured and on the first of April :) Regards, Yan/Ottawa
