I passed 100,000 views today. What a thrill that was! I remember when I began posting photos a year ago last week, that seemed an completely unattainable number. Thank you, all my dear friends who take time from your busy lives, to look at my photos and especially to those who are kind enough to leave such supportive, cheerful and sometimes humourous comments! You put a smile on my face every morning and I am more motivated to try to get outdoors, to get better photos, than if you were not there wishing me well! You all inspire me in so many and different ways. I have learned so much from your suggestions and from observing your styles and tricks as well as being inspired by the way you live your lives. You all have a keen eye and fine talent for a great photo, but even better hearts! We all crave a feature or a POTD, but a charming word of praise from a webshots friend means even more to me, on a bad day. All of you miraculously speak English, or make a marvellous effort and are so patient with us who do seem to take over the net and the world with our language. We have so much more in common than we have differences, even if we live in vastly different climates, circumstances and landscapes; love of learning, family, friends, curiousity, but most importantly, we all speak the universal language of the miraculous camera lens to illuminate our own lives as well as others. I hope I have forgotten no one.Merci beaucoup! Vielen Dank! Bedankt! Merci villmahl! Diolch yn fawr iawn! Grazia! Grazie! Spasibo! Dziekuje! Ahéhee'! Muchas Gracias! Çok sagolun! Baie dankie!

Hi MingCO2, I admire you being so determined quitting your job and travel. Yes! I agreed you gained a lot when travelling around and change you way of seeing things too. Keep it up and wish to see more of your nice works!

Hello Ming, there's places and countries that I've no desire to see or visit that you've taken pictures of, I may have changed my mind. What I've see are nothing short of fantastic, l'll have to spend some decent time to sift through them properly. For now, I can't stop raving about how wonderful and small bits of Australia that I've seen. All the best from London. phillper0906 AKA Phillip.

I red your comment about not visiting the beach near cuidad perdida.I spent 4 days on this beach (sleaping in an hamak) so if you want to see, this is the link to one of the shots i took there... http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2442364140034910004IyfYLN In the same album you can find some more shots from there and even some from other places in colombia and brazil. Enjoy :)

Ming, You have so many incredible pictures....I could spend hours looking at them if I had the time. Joe

I can't believe you don't have shots from the beaches in Tayrona. I saw you've been to the "cuidad perdida", but there is an amazing shoreline just an hour walk from the city... Maybe you didn't upload the photos yet!? Anyway it reminds me my trip to South America (9 months), I imagine you enjoyed your trip at least as much as I did. "Saluds", Itay, Israel
