Nice pics! More beautiful than I remember it! Gone are the good ol' days of the paranoic totalitarian state; (remember folks the one that arrested people for such pics?) replaced by social-capitalism with a human face at last!!! Sigh, I guess all the paranoiacs (mostly from Germany) moved to D.C. and rule the NSA. But are they here to stay? When will we get there (the vision of the humanity friendly future) and how (by what Path)??????
Czeslaw Milosz would be wonderstruck!

great pics!! I like it!
