    Simply awesome! Wonderful perspective and details!!! Love it!

  • Richard G Witham replied

    Thank you so much Krys. I tried a lot of different perspectives, but this one best captured the fantasy-land aspect of the scene. It really was spellbinding. The tallest of the icicles is over 3 mt.

    Oh.. Dios mío…
    me ha creado un temblor en mi estómago.
    Cómo una ansia de belleza…
    Qué alejada sensación del ordenador a la “realidad”.
    Puedo soñar lo que no puedo tocar, oler, vibrar en la piel?
    La visión es hermosa…pero punzante…
    cómo la visión de un alimento remueve el agua,
    en la boca de un hambriento.
    Te felicito por tu fortuna.
    Y lloro… un poquito por la mía (metáfora)
    Rosa

  • Richard G Witham replied

    Gracias una vez mas Rosa por tus palabras tan hermosas.
