  • Hi Jacques, these are beautiful pictures, and your attention to colors and composition makes them very special. You have excellent eye to capture that unique “magic moment” seen by photographer with camera in hands! Excellent photo-travel journal! Thank you so much for your kind and generous comments under “Mystic Spring”… Friendly greetings, Rafal

  • PS (sans les fautes) : Comme Anna Oldenhave, j'ai été surpris que les lieux soient presque déserts. Auriez vous bénéficié d'une visite privée pendant les heures de fermeture des musées ? André (padre48)

  • Bonjour, Jacques et Pierre ! Infatiguables globetrotters, vos albums sont toujours une superbe découverte des merveilles de notre monde que vous savez saisir avec talent. Et l'on reste muet devant la perfection du Taj Mahal, la pureté de ses lignes et le raffinement de ses détails ciselés : fruit d'un immense amour, mais aussi d'un esprit cultivé et civilisé. On se prend parfois à rêver que notre temps produise de tels chefs d'oeuvre .... ô tempora, ô mores ! Un grand merci et à bientôt ! André (padre48)

  • WOOOOOW !! Pierre, Jacques I'm really amazed for the beauty of this places!! I know Taj Mahal only from TV and now I can see its splendour with friends eyes! A gift for me..... Anyway it is (with also Mirza Ghias and others indians landscapes) an alien and exotic landscape for my italian mind.... really FANTASTIC! About your shots... perhaps your choose is not, as you say, the same that we do in the same situation; anyway the photos are really good! It was difficult choose some preferites, but my opinion is that best shots are 2, 9, 11, 15, 18, 22, 50, 53, 64, 79 and 90. A great collection it seem :-) !! However ... THANKS for this virtual trip !! CIAO !! Ruggero

  • Hi Jacques and pierre. Absolutely great album of a fantastic place, 41, 72 and th the indian lorry are my favourites. How come there are so few people on your photos of the monuments. I would expect hundreds of visitors going there together with you... Great work! Greetings Anna

  • Hello Jacques, enjoyed your wonderful trip and documentations. I learn so much from your trip and your photos are outstanding. Nice to give us a treat with 34,38 & 82 to include yourself and Pierre. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful trip best wishes as always Marietta

  • Hi Jacques, thanks for your compliments about my Golan-Height album. I am flattered. You then were just back from your Asian trip. And I am just back from a beautiful armchair journey through those wonderful India albums. Those places are so full of beauty, so rich in mathematical perfect decorations. I like more to think the Taj Mahal is a Hymn to Love! Your pictures are mathematical perfection, too! I like the views and the unusual angles you found, especially those "last views" from far away. In the first album I like especially pic # 3, the view over Turkey is amazing. I am back from a trip in my past (Germany) and brought with me a traveler guide for China, not sure, if I will ever go there...but it is nice to take a look. - Galit from Israel

  • Bonjour Jacques : quel merveilleux album ! un conte éveillé. Ce que l'amour peut faire réaliser aux hommes est fabuleux et tu as su nous en faire partager toute la beauté. Taj Mahal, c'est vraiment magique : les incrustations et les marbres d'une beauté époustoufflante ! Merci pour ce cadeau de l'Inde que tu sais si bien nous faire admirer. Merci aussi pour ton message sur mon featured album et ne sois pas si amer ! J'ai vu que tes albums avaient été mis en vedette pendant plusieurs jours en entête des rubriques de la communauté : c'est un sacré coup de pub ! De toutes façons, je t'avais déjà donné mon opinion sur le sujet : être "featured&qu ot; c'est bien, mais ça n'ajoute rien à la valeur des photos. Si elles sont bien, elles t'apportent automatiquement la notoriété méritée. De ce côté, tu n'as pas à te plaindre : il suffit de regarder tes scores sur tes différents albums ! crois-moi, ça vaut tous les "featured&qu ot; du monde ! Je te remercie encore et te souhaite un très bon weekend, amitiés, Chantal
