dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
You certainly have captured the crispness of the cold air here - one almost gets that feeling when the sun is trying to get through but the wind is icy and just won't let you remove your sweater.
2 Dec 2008 6:35pm
@dobbino: Exactly right Ron LOL gotcha! Rob, beautiful comment , as always thanks a lot :)

Pixim from Nice, France
A la lumière de l'Histoire, la photo est poignante, les mots ont très peu de place... Cela s'est terminé en fumée pour la plupart, le soleil sera à toujours voilé, peux-tu couper plus ces p... de cheminées. En tous cas, mon avis sur l'homme est définitif Merci pour ton témoignage d'émotion
2 Dec 2008 8:42pm
@Pixim: Merci pour ce commenaire Eric, c'est apprécié, as-tu lu les oeuvres, livres de Charlotte Delbo? c'est elle qui figure sur mon blog...elle était parisienne!
@JJ: thanks very much JJ I appreciate your visits, always ;)

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States
What a nice, simple but uplifting shot! It's still pretty comfy, here (cold for us, but . . . you know). You should visit. We could go play with the cameras.
2 Dec 2008 10:40pm
@Bookfool: Thanks a lot Book, wouldn't that be fun lol and books we could play with books. When I was younger, my sister and I would often read the same book at the same time, just for the fun of it...sometimes I would make shocking expression (faking of course) and my sister always got upset 'cause I was a faster reader, and she didn't want to know what was coming up...lol
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I know exactly what you mean in your title, cold does something miraculous to the air, and this shot sums it up in a spectacularly glorious fashion.
2 Dec 2008 10:59pm
@Richard_Irwin: Yes, so true, thanks a lot Richard :)
Janice Thomson from Comox BC, Canada

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
c'est à la fois sobre et majestueux, un ciel lourd et menaçant, pourtant le noir n'est pas noir, et l'on devine les rayons chaleureux encore cachés ...
une photo très on/off (je viens d'inventer l'expression lol, pour résumer le paradoxe de mes sentiments sur ta photo ...)
et c'est magnifique, tu pourrais en faire de beaux tirages !!!
3 Dec 2008 4:41pm
@marianne: On/off I like....merci beaucoup Marianne :)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I tried to post on the blogger site, I had a password from years ago which it doesn't like now.
When I was young and in school (this is just a few months back) I read a short book about a concentration camp survivor. I can't recall the author or the name of the book but what he said has stayed with me all these years. the sad part is that we've had many more atrocities since then.
3 Dec 2008 10:07pm
@JoeB: Elie Wiesel? He had quite a few books out...extraordinary and horrifying...anyhoo I'm responding late, I didn't see you there, oh that blog doesn't exist anymore...:)
@terrorkitten: Thanks Phil :)
