Lightthinker pays his respects
Another version of this shot was the hit shot of the past two months on my lightthinker-gallery on deviantArt. In no time it roared up into second position on this gallery: the present dates are 1985 views and 285 favs.
Some of you will have had a look at my ligththinker-gallery and seen that the central impetus of this gallery lies in the combination of lightthoughts, i.e. lightful and inspiring quotations with beautiful photography. Let me give you the lightthought 490 which goes together with this picture:
“We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.”
(Mary Dunbar)
And now the sad thing. I closed down my lightthinker-gallery this week for the time being. I told my 670 watchers that Redbubble had won at least temporarily and that they had the choice of watching either of my two jchanders-galleries, the one on deviantArt or the one here. After nearly three years, a new chapter has been opened.
This Redbubble gallery, still in its buds, has developped such a dynamics of its own that I decided to give it most of my energy now. I hope you will appreciate it.

Appreciated, Juergen!! Very much. I wonder if you feel a little bit like I did when, after writing about my feelings, emotions, experiences, on a website, called http://hierinsydney.web-log.nl/ (in Dutch), they changed the format and it all became a jumble.
It was like leaving a house, where you lived for years.
Absolutely not surprised about the popularity of this work.

Yes, it is a strange feeling to take this step, especially I had no intention to do so when I started this RedBubble gallery 10 days ago!
