    • I just revisited your picture albums, and enjoyed them very much. The pictures of your hometown are fantastic. At the end of this month I hope to go to Holland and will take some more pictures.

    • Hoi Diana, vandaag stond er een mooie foto van Ameland op Webshots en zo belandde ik bij dit album van jou. Wat leuk, ikzelf woon met m'n gezin in Australië, maar m'n ouders wonen sinds een aantal jaren op 't Noord in Schagen! Dus ik zie zo veel bekende plekjes, de markt, het Rapenpadje en dus ook 't Noord, dat doet een mens goed om aan deze kant van de wereld zulke mooie Noordhollandse plaatjes te zien! Bedankt!

    • Hallo Diane, Ik zie dat je mijn webshots album (met handgemaakte kaarten) gezien heb en ik heb nu ook de jouw webshots als favourite gemaakt. Wat leuk zeg, een Hollander tegen te komen via deze site. Hele leuke foto's heb je zeg.... zou er heimwee van krijgen, hi,hi. Nou ik spreek je wel weer eens. Ik heb geen internet thuis, ik gebruik de bibliotheek hier in Burton-on-Trent, Engeland. DOEI DOEI & vast een prettig weekend. Mirjam

    • 10.07.05 Dear Mrs. D. I was happy to watch your pictures from Schagen. Since 1983; normally I use to spend my vaccation in St.Maartenszee. Then we rush to Schagen, MAKADO-Center and buy groceries, may be visit the post-office. Thats all. This year I had an appointment with the Rabo-Bank there. From the 1.-4.July. So I had enough time to admire the city. I lived in the 'slot-Hotel', its your picture 29, left side. And the biggest surprise: Sunday they had a beach-party right in front of the church. Pouring 100 tons of sand on that market-place. It was tremendous. So be shure, I visit this wonderful city again, and not only the shore.

    • hoi, diana, wat was je een lekker droppie toen je 5 was. een leuk dorp trouwens dat scagen, ik kende het alleen uit dat liedje van martine bijl, maar jouw foto's geven een heel wat beter beeld moet ik zeggen. vooral die kinderkar spreekt mij erg aan, doet mij denken aan mijn eigen jeugd waarin we in koekange op zondag altijd met paard en wagen naar de kerk gingen, groetjes, geert

    • Diana, I enjoy your photography very much. The flowers in all the various albums are quite beautiful; the quality of your composition and light is equally nice. I wonder if you have sold any of your work professionally, as it would appear so. I particularly enjoyed also seeing you as a child and the lovely scenes from where you grew up as a child. Thank you for sharing your artistic sensibilities. Lynne Berry-Donoghue, California, USA

    • Hi, Diana - thanks for telling me about your new album. What a charming trip down memory lane! I retraced my childhood and places of my youth in Czechoslovakia - a once in a lifetime experience. I can therefore appreciate your thrill of re-visiting the part of Holland where you were as a young child. A very nice and interesting album!

    • Hallo Diana! Bedankt om me uit te nodigen een kijkje te komen nemen naar je nieuwe album. Ik ben nog nooit in Schagen geweest, het ligt dan ook honderden kilometers van hier, maar ik kreeg een heel goed beeld van dit heel aardige plaatsje. Een beetje weemoed straalde op me af bij het bekijken van je foto's. Ben ik mis? Een leuke vondst die oude foto's tussen de nieuwe. Die prachtige zwart-wit foto's zijn knap ingescand vind ik. De natuurfoto's ronden het geheel poëtisch af. Uiteraard ben ik ook nog eens naar je ander foto's gaan kijken. Bedankt voor de fijne momenten en tot ziens! Groetjes Willem

    • Dag Diana, wat een ontzettend leuk album is dit! Ook al ken ik Schagen totaal niet, als archiviste ben ik altijd erg geïnteresseerd in de geschiedenis van plaatsen en mensen. Ik vind het ook erg leuk dat je een stukje van het 'oude' Schagen in hebt album hebt opgenomen. Het ziet er heel erg knus en pittoresk uit. Ook erg leuk dat je een stukje van je jeugd met ons deelt op Webshots! groeten van Louise.
