Hello! First of all let me congratulate you for the great work you are doing as a photographer. Your photos are really nice and inspiring. Therefore I would really like to invite you to join the travel photos portal where I am an active member as well. It is an expanding travel community that we are trying to build up. And I think that it is a great chance for you to increase your visibility as well as share your travel experiences with so many more people around the world. Registration is free of charge and you just have to give the link to the actual location of your travel photo gallery and insert a small description about it. It takes just a few minutes! Here is the link to the travel community I am talking about: http://travelphotofind.com/ I could have suggested your travel photos myself, but I thought it would be so much better for you to do it yourself and then personally receive feedback from the visitors. Hope to see you there soon! Sincerely yours, Andre Vogelaar

Hallo Arie, hierbij mijn verlate maar niet minder gemeende felicitaties met je 65e verjaardag. Een mijlpaal, het moet toch een apart gevoel zijn om de eerste AOW te ontvangen. :))) Groet, Tjebbe

Dear Arie, thank you so much for your prompt reply. It is quite a bountiful week for you and I'm very happy for you. Warm congratulations are in order for every event that we celebrate with you! To have two POTD in one week, plus winning in the Creative Challenges is truly quite an achievement! And very rare. But, to me, the most important, is your birthday! Please accept, dear Arie my best and most sincere wishes for this occasion. A very happy and fruitful year for you and many many returns. Annick

I'm happy to read that you enjoyed my present, Arie! I know that orange is the national colour of the Netherlands, so I choose this tulip (also the national flower, isn't it?)intentionally, this photo was taken in a park near my house! Have a great weekend! Lorella

said magister111 9 months 9 days ago

Belated Happy Birthday to you, Arie!!!!! Go to my page and look at the album "Happy Birthday". You can find a present for you there!!!! Lorella

said magister111 9 months 9 days ago

Hi, Arie! Thanks for your message! I want to congratulate you on every one of those momentive events you experienced all this past week! What a way to bring in your 65th birthday! You should be in the limelight for a while, you certainly deserve this! I so liked that album of your on the Alps! Even if I shouldn't, I do envy, just a little bit, your ability to travel! If I were younger like you, I would do it where money would permit. I would like to see the whole world! Take more photos! Best regards, Katherine
